As I posted before somewhere I recently lowered my torsion bar and attempted to fit new front struts/springs. I had trouble with the struts and so ended up fitting new 55mm springs onto the factory shocks.
Basically this is my problem. On the 1.4 clio there is apparently 2 different types of front strut, 1 has a 52mm gap between the mounting bolt holes on the strut and one has a 54mm gap between these holes. Obviously they are not interchangable.
My struts however have a centre-to-centre distance of 60mm(!) which is obviously significantly bigger than either of these two. My car is a limited edition sport (mk1 phase3) and I need to know if other engined clios (RSi, 16v, willy etc) have different suspension in case renault fitted something different to my car.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I dont know how long my standard shocks will take the abuse.
Cheers, Ben
