    11 turbo suspension

    Hi people!

    My daily drive needs some new suspension where's best to get it from?

    Some how I've got into my head that 19 shocks fit the 11! don't know why just think I read it somewhere!

    non 16v 19 and megane shocks will fit but they make it about 10-15mm higher
    due to where their bottom mounting bracket is welded on the shock body .

    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?

    Where would be best to get top mounts and bearings from? can they be taken of other cars?

    for the top mounts i have no idea mate , whats wrong with your ones ?

    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 .

    Did you end up finding any top mounts mate?

    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?

    Re: 11 turbo suspension

    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.

    The bearings are no prob to get as they are the same as the 5 and 19, i already bought one for £2 off the bay ( original renault as well)

    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!
