58mm hole spacing!?

[ClarkyClio]

Hi,

I think im being a bit of an idiot, but I have been looking at the ultimate suspension kit from k-tec http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1869 and I just cant figure out if my car will fit this kit? I don't get the whole 58mm spacing bit? I dunno if anyone can help, my clio is a 53 1.6 16v Dynamique?

Cheers

you have to either take the wheel off, or turn it to full lock and measure the vertical distance between the two horizontal bolts. it'll be apparent which ones they are when you look.

its difficult to say what it should be, as they do tend to vary occassionally.

 

[ClarkyClio]

what bolts, are they just below the springs on the front wheels?

 

[Middo]

yeah its where the suspension bolts to the hub.

they're the 2 main bolts right in the middle. you wont be able to miss them :rasp:

Il go have a look now....then ask another dumb question....lol

 

[ClarkyClio]

Oh.....they are obvious arent they...dont I feel stupid

Yea im pretty sure its 58mm measure in from the middle of bolt to middle of bolt and its 58mm, is that the right way to measure it?

It will be 58mm the only Mk2 phase 2 with different bolts spacing are some early 1.2 16V models.
All the 1.6's have used 58mm hubs.

You need to check to be sure realy but a 51 plates most likly going to be the 58mm hubs in a dynamique
