has anyone had any issues with wheel bearings wearing out etc after fitting spacers?
mechanic i was talking to said it can cause them to mess up/wear out fast etc
this, i have toyo proxes on mine and they have done around 12K miles and still have life in them. about £50 a tyre as well, and i have not lost grip with them yet
just had a thought, that little black rubber washer type thing that sit in the hole and the seats slide through? did you take yours out for the recaros? just thought cus if they are missing then there might be a tiny bit of play ?
might aswell space them all the way to the arch so its sat perfect? if not then i would play it safe to give yourself some clearance so if you need 6, i would say get 10mm
what do you mean by it has some play ? as in it moves on the sliders slightly or the whole frame slides etc etc?
check the 4 bolts under the car are dont up tight, and check the seat is tight onto the frames as well
could someone do 2 photoshops of these alloys for me please. one of the blue ones, and one of the gold ones.

i dont have a good side shot of my car so any silver clio will do, cheers
yeah i dont really want 16s tbh, just dont want the alloys to look lost. ill just get the 15s and lower it more ;)
are the pics on your thread the most recent ? or you got some more once its lower? cheaper tyres too :D
ah nice mate, i like them alot, especially the pink ;)
are they 15s you have there? not sure if i want 15s or 16s, the 15s i have at the minute look a little lost. spose i could wind the coilovers down more though
Re: Clio 1.2 With Lows
ah, then yes you will haha will look good though
just check the tyres once a week and if there obviously wearing fast on the inside then get rid of some camber. i got new alloys and tyres, then coilovers, fitted them with loads of camber and less than a month later had...
Re: Clio 1.2 With Lows
are 8j 15s different width to 8j 17s? 185s would be fine without needing to mess around at all i would of thought ?
camber looks awsome but i would be cautious unless you have alot of spare cash lol. i ran with like -3.5 degrees or something stupid and in about 3/4 weeks...
Re: Clio 1.2 With Lows
decent stretch and i dont think youll be too bad, what tyres are you putting on? 225s on stretch or bigger ? 225s would probably sit perfect without the need for flaring arches or anything, anything bigger would probably need it
ah cool what colours you going for ? i...
the incident i had was stupid. classic situation of going to get in your car as someone next to you is getting out, so i waved him out and waited by the back of my car....bang.
so he saw me, saw i said for him to go first, smiled. then belted his door into my car. massive c**t.
i can see why...
