Thanks :) If only I could sort the rubbing now!

Coilovers are now on :) Rubbing at the front though which I need to sort out. Gave it a good clean as well.

Yeah I have a bit, just tried to get it even each side, so maybe that's one reason as I'm also on Trophy Turinis.

That first picture is exactly how I want it, but I've had to raise the fronts a fair bit, and obviously the backs now as well to keep it at least level. Did you have to remove any arch liner? Also, are you running 15s or 16s?

Ideally I'd go lower but I'm not optimistic based on the current rubbing. How did you remove the arch liner bits? I have a dremel I could use. Do spacers help? If so, how? Because I'm not exactly sure what they are.

Hello everyone, I know this discussion is about Raceland coilovers, but seeing as everyone says they're the same as the current Ktec ones I was hoping I could get some help from this thread. I've just fitted my coilovers and have the fronts currently at 54 threads from the bottom. I get the...

Ok, the scrubbing is like this: - Driver side when going over bumps/dips in the road - Driver side when turning (not even that much) at speed or slow on full lock - Passenger side when turning at speed (throwing the car into it a bit) On the plus side, from the drive out I've just had it...

Both front wheels, I'll have to get a picture to explain where. Will do shortly.

I wish I had read this before I bought them! :p I heard they were soft, but it's only now that I realise this results in more scrubbing. I've raised the back and the fronts a bit now and it's still scrubbing when going about 20mph and suddenly jerking left or right. More so on the driver's...

I'm in the process of raising it all up a bit now. It's very boring :(

Never mind, I used my instinct and it's all on now. LOADS of scrubbing at the front and I think the back needs to be raised as it's as low as it goes at the moment.

Thanks dude, I managed to get the washer on, is this right? I assume I'll be able to tighten it all up properly once the car is back on the ground as the bolt will be pushed up through the hole a bit more. I definitely don't need anything from the old shock?

Hi all, Sorry, but I could really do with some help (because the Ktec coilovers don't come with any instructions, I know they're cheap, but come on!!) Anyway, I'm just fitting the rear shocks and I'm unsure which parts from the old shock I need to use (if any), and also the order of things...

Unfortunately not, and I now realise I should have one. Going to pick one up on Monday, but I need to get the car in a drive-able state before then. My main concern is that one of the camber bolts is a bit screwed, so I'm not sure I can tighten it fully. Is that a major issue? It's tight, but...

Fair enough, I don't mind buying them as long as they don't take the piss. I'll be putting the rears on first thing tomorrow and then playing with the fronts to get them set up as best as possible, and get everything tightened because I think right now the bolts aren't tight enough.

Ok, so today didn't go well. 4-5 hours it's taken me to get the fronts on, and now there is now light. The car is higher on one side, and camber is different on each side, and it's bloody hard to adjust it accurately. A few questions: - Once the camber has been set, how tight should you do...

Ok cool. I think I sorted it anyway :) Managed to get the washer on the bolt once I'd straighted it out with a hammer. I'll still be asking Ktec for new ones though.

Hi all, Things have gone seriously tits up with my Ktec coilovers. I've fitted both front struts, and I had all of the bolts in and tight. I tried adjust the camber bolts but it wasn't changing the camber. I think this was due to the bottom bolt being completely tight. I've taken the...

I have a spare heater resistor pack which I was going to put up for sale tomorrow. I had the same issue as you in November, I bought a second hand one from ClioSpares, it didn't work, they spent ages faffing so I bought a brand new one, and despite asking for a refund ClioSpares have send me...

Sorry, probably boring now but I just tried to undo the top mounts and they were fine. Tightened them back up for now but will get to work first thing tomorrow :D

I went to 4 different places and no one had a 21mm swan neck spanner so I was feeling very disheartened. However, I went through the mish mash of my Dad's old tools and found one, it had imperial units on it but it fits perfectly. Thanks Dad (RIP!) Also, I was in B&Q and noticed they had a...

HAHA! Fair enough :)

So would we be meeting at Thurrock services do you think?

I'm going to read the Raceland coilover discussion thread (as I understand they're pretty much the same as K-tec coilovers) and get some setups from that as a starting point.

My main concern is getting it set up (ride height and camber) well enough to drive for a few weeks before I get it aligned and set up properly.

Thanks Hugo, I'll look into that.

Thanks Spooky, shame you're not closer. The dampers were off no more than 5 months or so ago, so hopefully I won't have that problem. The guy who fitted the Eibach springs when they were off cleared up a load of crap which had formed over the years. I'll WD40 the top mount bolts the night...

yeah fingers crossed the weather holds out. Depending on how long the coilovers take I'll also be fitting new front and rear discs. I suppose it would make sense to do them at the same time.
