Clio's Such A Pain

[SteDonaghy]

Went on a drive upto Demon Tweeks, about 40min journey there to go and order my 60mm Suspension Kit.
I was all excited on the way only to be dissapointed when going to order the parts, i needed to knw the distance between the screw on the dampers is it, weather its 54mm or 58mm as i didnt knw this it was a wasted journey as ive now got to get home n start taken wheels off to find this out, why isnt anything ever simple wit a Clio

Nope only way to be sure it to measure the distance from the center of these two bolts on your damper.
