coilovers

[renaultman]

fitted my coilover about a week ago .. iv got standerd 15s it a mk 2 i need to set the camber i work for renault so i got it on our tool the camber is out the wheel come out at the top . if i try and set it to 0 the wheel hits the stut is this normal

 

[renaultman]

any body plz also it slips alot on the road normal this time of year? i mean slips a lot round a round about

 

[edde]

Thats not normal should be able to set to about minus 1.8 ok. About minus 2 and you run into problems with driveshafts not struts.

what coilovers are they??

FK's i'm guessing

you need to use 5mm spacers on the front and set the camber to -1deg

yes fks have u had this problem?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah, as i said you need 5mm spacers on the front (use longer bolts too)

the tyre ends up with a 3-5mm clearence between the spring platform and tyre

stick with 5mm - dont want to go too far or your wheel might start rubbing parts of the arches

ok thanks is it ok to just put them on the front not the bk

 

[Englebert]

I'd put them on the back too as the higher ET wheels can rub.

Demon Tweeks do 5mm Eibach spacers, otherwise 2Modified can get a range of FK spacers.

 

[Fred@BTM]

nope, just on the front only

trust me i've been doing FK's' on non RS clios for longer than anyone

infact i was the person who started the craze!
