renault 9/11 front suspension

[schakal]

is 1.7 gtx setup the same as turbos on renault 9 and 11 ??

[pierre]

don't think so, the turbo 9 and 11 have suspension similarities with 5GTE and 5GT turbo phase 1

don't think so, the turbo 9 and 11 have suspension similarities with 5GTE and 5GT turbo phase 1

so this means the renault 9/11 turbo front legs (shock+spring )
wil NOT fit a normal renault 9/11 ??

also do you know if the r9/11/ turbo are lower in the front compared to the non tubo renault 9/11 ??

2. also do you know if the r9/11/ turbo are lower in the front compared to the non tubo renault 9/11 ??

1. not so, they WILL fit since they are compatible to the 9-11 platform.

2. I ASSUME they are lower, just measure the length of front legs.

do turbo 9/11 front legs (shocks and springs ) fit the non turbo 9 and 11 ??
are the turbo shocks shorter than the non turbo ones ??? if so how much shorter???

basicly how can i lower the front end of my renault 9 ??

dat snapt sfen niet zo

had another idea after thinking for a while .
i know the megane and non 16v 19 springs have the same coil pattern
with my r9 1.7 and i got some megane lowering springs in the shed ,(they are really short and stiff ones ) but when i fit them on to the standard r9 shocks the spring will be loose in there as its too short that i can even do the top nut without compressing the spring which is fine when the weight of the car goes on top but not good when the car jumps on a bump (the spring may come out of the seat )
so i am thinking of finding a way around this as i know these springs will lower the car big time without rubbing

when its just an fiew milimeters you can fill it up by plulling an big garden hose over the the ends of the coilspring
