The rear shocks are really big too, they must have had oil capacity in mind when designing these!

I'm with you!

Not sure that's what is happening with these, it's hard to explain but the reason they are such big diameter is because that part is the fluid part and the damper, the rod you'd normally see on other shocks is inside of the leg and bolted to the bottom, or did you know that?

Yeah the second biggest bit, monstrous!

This shows the strut @Ant_Smiggy

Pretty sure this is the 60mm spacing part number

Hard to see from that, but they are huge, because they are upside down you are seeing the bottom part of a shock absorber at the top!

Undo the top mounts, jack it up a bit so the wheels stay in contact with the ground and keeping some compression on the springs so they don't fall out then undo the 18mm and slide them back out?

The main reason for the big washer on top of the bump stop is to stop the bump stop splitting when it hits under the blue dust cover, the washer on top stops the strut pushing up through the mounts, so fairly important... Your mount bush washers are probably doing that job though so as long as...

No mate the washers that came with the rear shocks go on before your original mounts/bushes, So... This is how it looks without the blue cover on...

Right mate without having the washers infront of me I'll try and remember.... Push the bump stop on Concave washer with the bigger hole goes on top of that then blue cover goes on then smaller washer on top of that!

I'd say that that setup would be firmer and more crashy than billies! They are progressive though so feel firm when they need to be...

If you say it's because the aux belt has wound into the cam belt and caused it to jump the timing then strip the timing belt off, remove all signs of debris, get a new gates kit and reset the timing like you say, you may be very lucky!! You only need to assemble it as far as getting the crank...

Sorry to keep blabbing on but I can't hype them up enough, they are awesome, have posted about them a lot myself, like I have said in previous posts the best road/track/comfort compromise I have come across... Most coilovers are really aggressive on the road and comfort generally goes out the...

Pretty sure the standard Renault ones are right, it's if you remove say konis from the car before fitting billies like I did where you get the wrong size nuts and mounts, something I had to sort out on the rear of mine, was painful waiting 3days for some purple powerflex ones to come!!!

Yeah TUV, tbh I'm not overly sure on the full range as I set mine to a modest usable height without going so low that you get ludicrous bump steer.... That TUV is a laugh too, they say it's tested on the Ring but within TUV limits, I exceeded those limits on the carousel!

Dump that, measuring tape and checking it visually is the best way, like I said I finished mine of on the scales to get it spot on but it was only a tad from side to side, they are actually really well balanced cars!

Nice feeling opening a box with brand new billies in, that was me a few months back, had a bit of a sex wee!! In regards to setting them up its very straight forward, set both side exactly the same, I measured from the bottom of the thread to the spring platform, fit them to the car and set to...

Think they are only slotted on the cup hole spacing, non cup spacing is fixed..

Yeah torque is way shy, are you sure you don't have a honda lump in there?!

You seem very forgiving!!?

Missed all the latest for some reason, nice support guys, like it a lot!!

15mm rear 20mm front

Cheers mate! No sorry should of said, it's the 15mm on the rear scrubbing, only minimal but enough to upset me!

So it will be the Clios turbo b'day soon, treated it to some spacers, not for any real point apart from looks! Thinking I can't go fast in the winter so I'll make it look fat! Looks really good, 15mm on the rear and 20mm up front, they are BIMECC hubcentric ones so very good quality. Thinking...

That car in the background looks like a serious piece of kit, at a guess I'm thinking probably the cleanest turbo installation ever too. Truly magnifique! Mange tout Timmy!

I found with just having springs you get a lot of bobbing about, end up going along like a nodding dog, bilsteins give a great ride they soak up undulating roads. Used to find with eibachs that on the motorway I'd sometimes noticed lights bumping up and down a lot.... Don't get that at all with...

I had brand new Koni adjustables and Eibach sportlines they were very good on the road and track but my new B14 bilsteins are so much better, the quality is amazing and they made my Clio feel very confident on the ring this year, was very reluctant to go to coilovers because of people saying...

Na man, that's done... Some of that pitting is bad, if it was a brake pipe it would more than likely fail an MOT test, ditch it IMO

Try not to roll it in the summer mate! :)
