cut the springs, tint the windows, drop the bitch :smokin:
cool! 10mm higher not a problem keeps the sump and exhaust away from the sleeping police men! :) does the same go for the rear shcok with the 19/megane?Quote:

them ebay shock absorbers should do the trick , however i forgot to
mention you will need to get the bottom bushes out of the 19 rear absorber
and stick r9 ones ,but i would personally find some r9 ones for sale to save the hassle .
Well I've now found that euro car parts have all the 11 turbo suspension bits for sale apart fromt he top mounts!
As for whats wrong with my suspension! first off I've got odd shocks on the front! and a very bad knocking from the front left so want to get all the bits ready for when It comes apart!

I am in the same situation, i have some new shocks to fit but im trying to get some new topmounts, bearings and rubbers to have ready to put on at same time.
euro car parts list the top mounts and the part number is the same for 5, 9, 11, 19, clio,21, but out of stock on all and im sure they all cant have the same top mounts?
In the end I bought a 2nd hand set of shocks that came already built up.
The top mount it self should still be avialible from Renault/mike phase 1 16v as for the rest I don't know. But the Ewok did fit 5 front suspension to his 11 ( shocks springs bearings top mounts) but it will slam your car quite a bit
Top mounts and bearings might still be available from Renault. I bought some for my R11 a couple of years back, worth a try. :)
Yeah i think ill pop down and get them to dust off their old diaology cds and have a look.Quote:

I reacently bought top mounts+ bearings from renault and are still available except for the springs,which have been discontinued:crap:
You dont happen to have the part numbers for them do you?Quote:

I will go to the garage later as I think the invoice is still there which should have the price on and I'll get you the part numbers as well.The T/mounts were a bit on the pricey side,unlike the bearings which seemed very reasonable.I will get you the figures!

You need to get some pics of your car in your profile Jack ;)
