Remanufactured Front Suspension Spring - Renault Clio 2 RS MK3 (182hp) Sport Chassis

The Renault Clio 2 RS MK3 (182hp) with the Sport Chassis option is an icon of compact sportiness, renowned for its agility and surgical handling. The front suspension spring is a fundamental element of this dynamic, ensuring ride height maintenance, shock absorption, and steering responsiveness. At Optimiz Access, experts in sport vehicle maintenance and customization, we know that every component of your suspension is vital to preserve your Clio RS's DNA. This remanufactured front suspension spring, strictly compliant with the genuine reference 8200342860, is the ideal solution to restore all of your vehicle's original dynamic qualities.

What do you risk by neglecting to replace your front suspension spring?

A fatigued, broken, or unsuitable front suspension spring on your Renault Clio 2 RS MK3 Sport Chassis can lead to major consequences on your vehicle's performance, safety, and maintenance costs. Here's what you could lose by not replacing it:

• Degradation of Handling and Road Behavior

  A worn spring no longer correctly maintains your Clio 2 RS's ride height. You'll experience floating, loss of cornering precision, and excessive body roll. The car will be less stable, especially at high speeds or during weight transfers. Your Sport Chassis will lose all its legendary rigidity and efficiency, transforming a sports car into a vehicle with uncertain road behavior. Don't compromise your vehicle's grip and control.

• Premature Wear of Shock Absorbers and Other Components

  The spring and shock absorber work in symbiosis. A fatigued spring no longer correctly performs its initial damping role, transferring excessive stress to the shock absorber, which will have to compensate. This causes accelerated wear of the shock absorber, bump stops, shock absorber mounts, and even tires. What could have been a simple spring replacement turns into a much more expensive and complex repair. Protect your entire suspension system.

• Increased Braking Distances and Instability

  A front axle with a weakened spring no longer ensures optimal weight distribution during hard braking. This can lead to excessive nose dive, reducing the effectiveness of the rear braking and extending stopping distances. Braking stability will also be compromised, increasing risks. Ensure the safety of your stops.

• Abnormal Noises and Degraded Comfort

  A fatigued or, worse, broken spring can generate metallic clunking noises, squeaks, or shocks felt in the cabin, particularly on road irregularities. Beyond the unpleasant noise, this is a sign of a failure that significantly degrades your Clio 2 RS's ride comfort. Restore appropriate quietness and smoothness.

• Non-Compliance with Technical Inspection

  A broken or severely weakened suspension spring is a reason for a re-inspection at the technical control. This can lead to your vehicle being immobilized and unexpected costs. Keep your Clio RS in perfect working order for compliance.

Why choose this Optimiz Access remanufactured front suspension spring?

This front suspension spring is a high-quality remanufactured part, designed to be strictly identical to the genuine Renault product with reference 8200342860. It is specifically intended for the Renault Clio 2 RS MK3 (182hp) with the Sport Chassis option. Manufactured according to the same technical specifications as the original (wire diameter, number of coils, pitch, stiffness), it ensures the restoration of your vehicle's original dynamic performance without compromising on quality. It's the ideal alternative to regain a new suspension at a controlled price, without the availability constraints of sometimes obsolete genuine parts. It's not necessary to change both springs at the same time if the other is in good condition, but for optimal performance and balanced wear, it's an option to consider.

Compatibility and Installation:

• Is this spring suitable for all Clio 2 RS 182hp models?

  No, this front suspension spring is specifically designed for Renault Clio 2 RS MK3 (182hp) models equipped with the Sport Chassis option. Please verify this option on your vehicle before ordering. The genuine reference 8200342860 is your best guarantee of compatibility.

• Should shock absorbers be changed at the same time?

  Although this spring is compatible with your genuine shock absorbers (if they are in good condition), it is highly recommended to check them carefully. If your shock absorbers are also worn, replacing them at the same time as the springs ensures a complete suspension overhaul, thus optimizing the performance and lifespan of the entire assembly. You will find associated complementary products, such as shock absorbers, top mounts, and bump stops, at the bottom of this page.

• Is installation difficult?

  Replacing a suspension spring requires specific tools (spring compressor) and automotive mechanical knowledge. It is imperative to perform a front axle geometry adjustment (toe and camber) after the operation to ensure optimal road holding and prevent premature tire wear. We recommend entrusting this operation to a qualified professional. At Optimiz Access, we also offer installation of this part in our workshops.
