One year later lol.. As above, have you sorted it mate? I have the EXACT same problem with mine, it's lowered about the same as yours but I have the original wishbone bushes and it still rubs in the exact spot!. It looks quite like yours with the wheel moved towards the front of the car. I...

the gaz golds are decent, I'd say you keep them. The refurb is quite cheap on them also. Maybe gaz will supply you some shorter bump stops and together with harder springs you won't be bottoming out anymore. Oh and get some coilover covers to protect them

Well let us know what gaz say about this and what springs you will get :)

I had no spacers on mine, the bolts were the std renault ones so good quality. The have been fine (never came loose) untill the first track day

I made mine at a local guy who makes bags, wallets and stuff. He had a material that looked like waterproof and quite sturdy so I'm pleased with the result :)

This happened to many people, with nasty aftermath on some ocassions, I doubt there were issues every time, as far as I know it's about the heating cycles that are making the bolts coming loose. For some reason (can't really explain) the stud-nut assembly is less likely to give up in the same...

do you have a photo of the exact spot?

plus side is they won't come loose. I fitted studs to mine after being on a 20 min session and the bolts comming loose so much as I could get them undone by hand! pretty scary stuff as they were torqued just a day before! Done another track day this weekend and checked the studs after and they...

Hi rob! I had this issue with mine and long story short I had to shorten the bump stops in order to gain some travel. I have the GHA kit but I am pretty sure that the shock bodies are the same lenght, I also have the k-tec solid mounts which may be about the same stack height as yours. here's...

if you do trackdays I'd keep them

feedback after fitment! :)

had no idea the rears weren't rebuildable, my bad!

interesting product, as I can see you can alter the roll center also. I guess few people have them as I couldn't find any feedback either

You ditched the trophy dampers? weren't they rebuildable?

Interesting that the 172 cup has ET38 wheels while the 182 cup/cup pack has ET45, and despite this the official figures don't spec different track width between them (as I can remember)

Very interesting thoughts here :) I am thinking of going like this: FIrst of all I will assume that the std geometry is quite good, hell, that's why we love these cars right? :) And based on the things I know about the std suspension setup(ride height, toe, camber, caster etc) I will try to...

received the parts from gaz yesterday :) now I have to find some time to fit them. very satisfied with their support as I was saying!

Well thanks for your opinion! Any idea if the clio has positive or negative scrub straight from the factory?

remove the springs and allow for some play when moving the pads up and down in the caliper - about 1mm of play I'd say (that may require some more filing). I did this on mine and never had any issues Cheers!

ok but how much is too much then? I would think that 20-25mm of spacers is quite a lot, but I never intend on going that far, maybe just 10 or 15-16mm maximum on the front I already read that article ;) Thanks anyway! On some cars 5mm of extra positive scrub can be nasty, maybe others cope or...

Isn't the front supposed to be stiffer, as the weight ballance is mostly on the front axis?

ok, so what about the settings? I run the same kit from gaz and am curious how people adjust them for track days

clio 182 std wheels are ET45, 172 cup wheels are ET38

If you are referring to the ET38 172 cup offset then yeah you are pretty much the same as OEM What tyres are you using? the 205/45 r16 federals that I have are wider than the stock michelins so they sit closer to the strut, and that is with ET 37 ultras on

Well that is what I am trying to find out here. It looks like a large number of people are running spacers, are they all doing it for the looks? Have seen proper track cars spaced out, what's the deal then? I'd prefer not to either but because of the fat federals rsr's I have and the 1,5 deg...

wouldn't blame the spacers for your problem (well not mostly). I guess they just amplified some issue you had which wouldn't show up without them on

can't understand these 60, 80mm or more drops people claim here, I had mine lowered about 30mm (measured properly not by some manufacturer claim) on gaz coilovers and I was bottoming out on every small bump... have your cars measured, they are not that low as you might think! and that's a good...

Hi all, Just went recently to my first track day, and found the wheel bolts undone after only a 20 min session (they were torqued up one day before) and decided to convert to studs after that.. Could only find 100mm long ones and since I am running no spacers they stick out quite a lot - looks...

no, not yet, it will take a while (maybe a week or more) to travel across europe. they are sending only the internal parts which will need replacement. Gonna post here how it will go. but yeah, really nice dudes at Gaz ;)
