Jesus Christ use full stops man LOL. So hard to read I pretty much gave up.

If you want it to be perfect on track then there are so so many things you can change or upgrade.

 

[stevescort172]

Same, didnt understand or bear to read anymore

 

[cliosport-carl]

Sorry was using my phone and it's a pain in the ass. I wanted to know if anybody has pure motorsport rear axle bearings with gaz coilovers and spacers ??

 

[Chip-mk1]

You are going to need a hell of a decent spec car all round before you notice the rear bearings.

first place to start is replacing any worn front components like track rods and ends etc.

Ive driven a few clios on gaz GHA suspension, it works well for the money.

Here is my car on it:

The key thing is removing play from suspension and steering components from wear. These cars handled excellently when new but age takes its toll.
Top mounts, rack mounts, tre, track rods, wishbones all show signs of wear. Just new standard is fine for all those things although personally the one I update for track work is the top mounts.

 

[cliosport-carl]

no I had another seizure after being fine for 2&1/2 years and im absolutely gutted

 

[Chip-mk1]

Ah, you are epileptic or similar then I take it?

Gutted

 

[stevescort172]

My mate had his taken away for same reason, apparently because he was working nightshift and had sleep deprivation.

 

[Poopensharten]

Ah pisser mate, sorry to hear your losing it

 

[Chip-mk1]

When I read his first post I thought it was some chav tool who had his car seized by the police and a ban for a driving offence, not that he suffered a seizure himself and got his license pulled because of that.

Totally misjudged him for which I can only apologise.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Back on topic.

Yes camber bolts are well worth doing, especially if looking to make the car more track focussed.

Eibach ones will give around 2.25-2.5 degrees of negative camber typically on a clio on max adjustment, which is a pretty good ballpark.

The rear camber can be adjust by shims placed between the beam and the stub axle, and you can adjust rear toe the same way.

 

[cliosport-carl]

lol its ok most people think its to do with the police and no no chav just unlucky also found out Its 12 months now so got ages to sort this badboy out lol I think im just going to get a few bits then
see what happens iv just got a quote on some powerflex bushes for the wishbones I can get all the cheep so will do that first I also need spacers or dIffrent ofset wheels as mine rub with any
typeof camber lol

 

[Chip-mk1]

Personally im not a fan of powerflex on the wishbones, the standard ones when new have very very little play, the powerflex are no stiffer and simply dont last as long.

People think they are good as the replace knackered standard ones with them, but new standard ones are just as good and more reliable.

Camber normally makes wheels rub LESS, unless you mean its rubbing on the front shocks?

 

[cliosport-carl]

Rubbing the shocks I do mean lol well see what happens

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yes you just need a spacer then mate.
