    Why use 'camber bolts'?

    there are coilover kits with built in camber adjustment, not sure how they work but I saw that the hole which carries the adjustment is oval. This is one of the reasons I went for gaz coilies an still using the camber bolts I had

    Why use 'camber bolts'?

    I got mine from Kam racing last year. they're cheap so the hassle of elongating the holes is not worth it

    Uprated suspension topmounts or oem?

    If you can afford the k-tec ones go for it. Some will say that new OE ones are good enough but I don't think they're as good as a good quality solid mounts. If you can stretch towards the £200 mark then the AST are the ones to have. they have castor/camber adjustment and they're top quality. If...

    What's your ride height? -GAZ GHA owners-

    Hi there, Just made some last (I hope!) adjustments to the car after fitting the gaz coils couple of days ago and I'm under the impression that I'm too low on the front, although I've seen here some silly low clio's I'm having 32 cm from the center of the front wheel to the top of the wheel...

    Is you clutch creaky?

    not sure how close to the mani my cable runs, as my car is LHD. What you are saying makes sense, but when mine creaks it sounds really close to the fork. I just remembered that most renault services (or all of them I'm not sure) have a listening device, basically a metal pin connected to some...

    Is you clutch creaky?

    ok but how come after I lube the fork pivot point and the fork/release bearing area (although that is a tricky spot to get to) the creak is gone for couple of days, even if hot outside? I'm sure that changing the cable sorted the problem for some people but that's not always the cure

    Standard Ride Height

    say from the center of the wheel to the top of the arch. I'm interested as well cause I forgot to measure mine before going to coilovers

    The rear scrubs when lowered (with 16" ultraleggeras)

    ^ good idea, especially when I spent the entire saturday fitting the coilovers! seriously speaking, I'm not gonna get back to standard, I so love the way the car corners now, even if they're the GAZ stuff that everyone hates For a first coilover experience they are just right and for now I'll...

    mine is rubbing on the outer wall. will get it sorted these days as I intend to rise the back about 7-8mm

    Adjusting ride height means that....

    Just got my coils mounted and according to GAZ the adjuster knobs affects both bump and rebound. If changing the springs to harder spec am I gonna have to send the shocks to gas to re-seal them? Chances of them leaking will decrease if I keep them at a softer setting? would be tricky If I had...

    The rear scrubs when lowered (with 16" ultraleggeras)

    I keep doin' this with no success whatsoever lol now this is something that It's gonna happen :)) I quite like the offset the ultras give, even if they were available in 45 offset I'd still keep them I'm gonna have some 2118's one day this year hopefully. given the situation I'll probably...

    The rear scrubs when lowered (with 16" ultraleggeras)

    Is there any cure to the rear arch scrubbing? I've seen loads of clios lowered more than mine is atm so any suggestions on solving this? p.s: this happened with 4 people inside the car, 2 of them being over the 100 kg mark

    Top Mounts

    the real advantage is that they won't alter suspension geometry while cornering and are pretty much bullet proof. But yes, a rear ARB will make make a noticeable change in the car's behaviour. I'd still get the top mounts at some point. A good allround suspension setup isn't complete without...

    fitting ds2500 pads?

    mine squeal when hot but then again, they're a track pad so it's almost normal. I binned the shims and filed them down though. Is there other "trick" in making them quiet? :D

    H&R setup; scrubbing from front bumperbracket-HELP!

    I'm sure I'll figure it out when the time will come. I was just curious how others did it

    Adjusting ride height means that....

    Was thinking and it just made sense how the toe changes with adding camber. Doesn't matter if you add it by using bolts or anything else. Easy to understand if you draw a sketch of the joints in the suspension and try and figure out what happens. Hope this thread will answer some questions for...

    Adjusting ride height means that....

    found this thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?601745-Tracking-fail-%28commence-flaming%29 and according to post#9 adding camber gives toe in. This is what happened to mine when I added camber via camber bolts So basically there are 2 ways of adding camber: 1. by lowering- in...

    Adjusting ride height means that....

    will do ;) Glad to hear someone actually happy with gaz. My only concern is that I live quite far from Gaz themselves and a warranty claim would give me some headache but I hope for the best. After all I was lucky with my milltek LOL

    toe out meaning that the wheels will be opened to the front of the car? I'm asking cause I know toe in/out means different to some people

    GHA, If I had 900 I wouldn't risk it on gaz and went for h&r or smth :)
