Eibach pro's + help with spacers

[Tomo_Rep.97]

Thinking about getting some of these for my 1.2, do I need to get specific ones for Clio? I have no idea about things like this but heard very good things about these springs, nice subtle drop and massive improvement.

Need advice with spacers, it's obvious I need spacers, I'd like ones where I can use my original bolts as I've just spent money on new locking wheel nuts. I have no clue about this either, I don't have lots of money to spend but I'd like some decent ones but for good price.
I don't know how I measure the sizes or whatever. Do I also take into account the fact I will be fitting sport wings, how much extra mm will that add.

If someone could link me to items that would be greatly appreciated. I don't have a donkey about these things. Cheers
Tom

I am not certain if he can help or not but @Russ_16v just sorted me with springs for my 172 at a reasonable rate along with great service.

Thanks matey!

If you are wanting to space out to the width of a 172, I'd imagine you will need longer wheel bolts - im not 100% as ive never had to do it on a non-sport but someone will be along shortly who will be able to help

I can supply Eibach, so no issues there - drop me a PM with your car details and I will grab you a price

If you want to keep the original bolts you'll need a bolt to hub spacer system. This is basically when you are provided with small headed bolts that secure the spacer on and then you bolt the wheel onto the spacer as normal. Downside is, these systems are all 20mm or more and expensive for a decent grade build.

The only other way to keep your originals is to go for shims.

These guys explain everything pretty well and give a good sense of value. If you do get new, longer bolts the price is usually £1.60-£2.90 per bolt.

If your planning on fitting the sport wings, then you would definatley need spacers as the wheels look lost as soon as you fit them. On my old rep i had 25mm hubcentric spacers and over time had 3 different sets of wheels, and i had no issues with rubbing and it spaced the wheel out pretty much perfectly

Yeah definitely that's why I'm asking now, I don't want to fit sport wings without having spacers ready to go on too! It'll look silly 25mm hubcentric okay cheers, how much did they cost do you mind me asking? You probably don't remember
