Hubcentric = Good quality spacers. Not the cheap s**t quality u can buy off eBay = danger.
Spacers widen your tracking, make your wheels stick out further and fit nicely within the archers. A nice little touch

Don't get s**t coilies like race land what ever you do! (that includes the ktec ones too)

Ok. Im gonna keep my wheels and get them refurbed and sprayed black. What sort of coilovers do u recommend? Am i
right in saying u can adjust the ride hight with these, if so what should i set them to and what size spacers do i need,
Bearing in mind the wheels are 16"

Do you just want a slammed ride, air do you actually want to improve the handling?
If you just want the first, then buy the ktec s**t.

that is a sexy car ^ makes me want turnins
anyway, yeah you can adjust the height mate, and with a decent set you can adjust the damping aswell. hard to say how far you want to lower it untill you put them on, but its an extremely quick and simple process to change the right height. you just use a special spanner and twist the cog thing and thats it.
as for spacers, just measure from the wheel to the arch whilst looking down. prob be more on the front that the back. 25mm front 20mm rear. or 20/15 something like that.
and for coilover brands id look at H&R, KW, FK brands

Not too keen on the slammed ride, would rather have better handling

Do you know of anywhere i could take the car and get all this done by
Someone who knows what they are doing, i wouldnt have a clue where to start

like PSJ said really. if you were too refurb your alloys, get some decent coilovers, spacers. would cost something like £650-1000 depending on what coilovers you got and if there new or second hand. and the spacers and coilovers you will get the majority of your money back..especially if you buy second hand coilies, i sold them for what i paid for mine
MK3 GTI golf 16v
where abouts are you ? any garage really can fit your coilovers and set it up properly for you, you would just need to go to a tyre shop or something and have your tracking done afterwards. as for the spacers you can do them yourself, just take the wheel off, bolt spacer on then bolt wheel back on
Clio 182 inferno
Sorry clancy but i sometimea have trouble changing the wheel! Lol
Im in the west mids btw
So if i get some decent coilovers and spacers and say to my local renault specialist "fit these please!"
he will know what to do
MK3 GTI golf 16v
as in birmingham area? if your close to there then take it to fred@BTM who is on here, hes one of the traders. otherwise then yeah a decent garage will do
yeah just say that and theyll do it, just say how you want the car to sit and theyll set the ride height. like say you want the arch sat perfect across the top of the wheel

They are your inlets machined and matched to the size of the gasket to increase air volume into the engine, I have had it done on both my cars and its made a world of difference with a decat. A friend of mine offers this service as part of his company. PM me if you want the details.
