Coilover bolt spacing

[Barnett]

Just bought some coilovers but I fear I may have mistakenly ordered the wrong ones. How do you measure the bolt spacing? Is it the middle of one hole to the middle of the other? I bloody hope it is because that'd make it 58mm (which is what I need)

How should I measure it, or is it ok as it is?

I'd say that was roughly 58mm centre to centre, only one way to see for sure, fit it!

I'd measure top to top or bottom to bottom.

One hole is elongated vertically, so it'll accommodate both cup and non cup bolt spacing.
The other is elongated horizontally for adjusting camber.

Center to center iirc.

I'd measure top to top or bottom to bottom.

Center to center iirc.

A hybrid of these two.

Bolt spacing IS given as centre to centre.

However if you have two holes it is more accurate to measure top to top (or bottom to bottom) then subtract the diameter. It's more accurate because you don't have to guess where the centre is.


All redundant for your elongated holes though.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I was sort of hoping the elongated hole meant they'd accommodate all bolt spacings for Clios, I'm just happy that they'll fit!
