I just cover them in WD40! Simples! I am joking. Don't do that. They always oxidise really fast, as mentioned you can cover them or simply drive the car a little, backward and forward and apply brakes a bit, this helps remove moisture and helps stop it.

Don't bother if you don't rag it about or do track days and don't have modded suspension. For me, it solved a problem I inherited when I fitted AVO coilovers, and made the car a bit more capable in corners, so for me it was a good purchase. My advice is only get them if you really have an...

This aimed at me? I am still learning about the benefits or adverse effects of fitting these, but I can say I no longer tramline anything like as much as I was. I knew what I wanted to do with the set up I have and these mounts seemed to provide a solution. The camber and castor were simply an...

People may have to use the top hats from AST, I simply don't know. They may be supplied in case you wish to use coil overs at a later date.

had a revelation on the way to work when I suddenly realised why the car felt better to drive: It's not tramlining anymore. The suspension is staying put rather than each strut being pulled about all over the place with the rubber mounts, and the fact they are allowed to move about so much due...

I'd say try fitting wthout as well. I know it's a bummer taking it all off again...but...will solve the increased ride height as well.

It does seem to have gotten rid of a feeling I am fighting the car and random jarring I get over bad roads, and feels keener to dig in, yes, plus the noise from slow turns has gone. I'll email them tonight.

Cool well done, I will be sending a few suggestions as well. I've done about 25 miles on them now, it has gotten rid of the wobbly feeling from OE mounts with my AVO's though the max negative camber adjustment is tiny.

Thanks! Looks well weird! Do you have to put the top hat from AST on? It may make a mess if you don't I guess... Thank God I have coilies, no more spring compressors! Yea see the nut in the top? Mine has fouled the inside of the anodised part and scratched/dented it to hell already!

Two top hats? No way surely? That may be why your height has increased.

If you only want to adjust camber just get the bolts. I went for the mounts as I wanted to do away with other issues from my setup.

Did you get any pics of you OE style setup? 10mm increase!!? Screw that, there must be a way to shave that off...maybe machine the sleeve bit that sits under the larger anodised part... Seems like I am not the only one who does not like the securing nut!

I think they will go on, but need a lot of force to get them to do so, even the weight of the car didn't do it. They are standard 250lb AVO springs, all interchangeable with other coilover springs. I think I will raise the car a tad more ;)

Yea mate, I will be sending them feedback. I think they need to enlarge the recess where the nut sits. This itself wont compromise strength as that part does not need it, it's only the solid part that sits up in the strut hole that needs to take any strain. Not seen the bigger nut ones, this...

Well, today I fitted the AST solid top mounts to my AVO’s. Everything went to plan with removal of the old setup. Jack car up, take off wheels, remove struts. Checking over the AVO’s to make sure they were fine I could see no major issues except for a split rubber piston cover, which I...

The reason I'd buy a V6 isn't the speed, it's because it's an event. Plus RWD antics are fun...maybe a bit TOO fun in such a short wheelbase car but there you go ;)

Great cars. Been thinking about buying one as well. Have a chat with the guys and gals here as well: http://v6clio.net

Excellent! Well done :D

There's hope for you all yet then! Just hand the keys back to the Government, ask for your money back and buy a REAL mans car...TEH WILLYAMS! :cool:

That sucks :( That dent is repairable though, pretty sure of that, seen worse. I've had a bad week too, dent in door from dumb ass neighbour, and a nice scratch too from her, and tonight a stupid work colleague drops a can of something onto the side of the car as well, leaving ANOTHER...

Ya but prices have risen partly as a little sideline by the dealers to make a bit more due to the £2k scrappage deal. Prices will drop again, or so they say. What sort of power is a stage 2 tune on the R26R?

I think you need drivers aids if you look at the weight of some of these cars nowadays. I was reading EVO the other day, all about the new Twingo Cup, I almost fell off the toilet seat when they said it was the new 'featherweight' superhatch at something like 1040 Kg. I mean, huh? That's a fat...

So, you put the key in, immobiliser off right? Turn key to start the car, turn key to full ignition and it just clicks? Does the starter motor go? Clicking sounds like a flat battery :) You need to understand what has caused it to go flat though. Try jump starting from another car or...

I remember my first car. It was a life changing event :) Have fun and be careful out on them roads!

Excellent car, saw one today funnily enough. Best of the 306's imho.

yea the 200 has done well. Seems like they have got a lot of the disappointments with the 197 sorted out. Maybe they will do a Williamsesque Ltd Edition run. When I was younger, the Willy had an extremely good time of it in the Press. It became a legend of the era for motor enthusiasts. Thing...

hahaha, yea I'm off to sell mine right now...^^ No idea why the Trophy is not on there, maybe it broke down...?

lol that was my evil cunning plan. Williams ftw hohoho.

Pwned ;)

Engine mounts maybe?
