B14 coilovers??

[Clio Nabz]

What's people's thoughts on these? Got vmaxx on at the mo but after my track day I want something better that doesn't rub away my arches on the corners

I love them, they are soft so won't help you in the rubbing department... BC suspension is probably worth a try and on par price wise.... custom spring rates available too [emoji1305]

 

[bloke]

cup or normal set up?

 

[Clio Nabz]

Cup

just taken a set off if you fancy some?

Why you take them off?

The car went back to standard suspension, was more track focused than road.

 

[Clio Nabz]

Is there anything else that wants doing while I'm sorting suspension?
It has new top mounts and a PMS strut brace at the mo

 

[bloke]

ball joints, arm bushes, track rods, ends, rack bushes etc...

 

[Clio Nabz]

Camber bolts worth fitting?

 

[bloke]

think the billies have an elongated top bolt hole for camber?

 

[Jekyll]

Yes they do.

 

[bloke]

thought so, just couldn't for the life of me remember and i only looked at them this morning!!

 

[Clio Nabz]

Ahh so I'll leave that one then

little thread bump

But how is the camber adjustment working on the b14? My gaz coilies also have an elongated hole up top but this is paired to a bolt that has an excentric washer welded onto it that rests on lump on the plates, so rotating the bolt causes the camber to change. How does that work on the B14 as I don't see a bolt of that type there? you just wiggle the strut and tighten the bolt? that looks a bit wrong as the I imagine a pot hole could shift the hub and the camber would go off, even if the bolt is tight enough.
That aside, how do you adjust the camber really with the car on the ground like it's supposed to be done? Being on the ground will force the hub into negative camber with the top bolt undone to carry out the adjustment, I imagine it is very difficult to shift the hub in the desired setting without some cammed bolts like the eibach one are or somth like the excentric washer type?

You want to run one or the other. Using camber bolts in an elongated hole does not work as the hole is obviously bigger than the cam.

If using a hunter alignment kit it takes into account the position when the wheels are off the ground. This allows you to adjust camber and sit it back down and it'll calculate it all out for you.

I have a standard bolt in an elongated hole and the camber does not move.
