Couple of questions regarding springs on my 197.

[Typhoon]

Firstly, how high are H&R springs rated? Will be an all round job, 40mm rear, 30mm front.

What cost would I be looking to pay to get these fitted on average?

Finally, will this spring make the ride rough? I want as close as possible to the standard Renaults but with a drop but not a too big drop! Will aftermarket springs remove the 'stick to the road' built in freebie the 197 has?

Cheers

You don't hear much about the h&r springs tbh, it's either cooksport/eibach or go home, lol. But Carl @bloke rates them a lot, more so than the cooksports which I rate. I Trust his opinion so would be happy to use them. Depending how old your dampers are and if in good condition they will be a little harsher than standard at a guess. Drop wise I'm not sure as I haven't heard much about them. How many pennies are they over the above, assuming you can get them for yours?

h&r are great, got the wife's 172 on them and it's really nice, firm but not harsh or crashy at all. have been trundling round in a mazda 3 mps with them on as well and again they are a really nice spring, imagine they would be great on track.

Bought them today @bloke & @imprezaworks ! £140 for all round. New.

Can only try them I guess. Apparently a pig to change the fronts on a 197 tho.

Good stuff mate

I would guestimate labour wise to be £60-£80, ish.

 

[bloke]

isn't it a similar set up to the 225 meg?

isn't it a similar set up to the 225 meg?

AFAIK, it's pretty similar.

shouldn't be to bad to do then.
