Need help from 1*2 owners

[ch!ppen]

Right folks,

Now the Clio is lowered (albeit a bit too much until Saturday ) i'm thinking that it needs some spacers. The front wheels sit very far in.

Has anybody fitted spacers? What width did you use?

On the front, did it have any side effects to the drive? The wheels feel a bit twitchy when you hit a bump or anything?

Obviously it put's strain on wheel bearings etc but i just wondered on people's experiences.

Thanks in advance.

has it got standard wheels?

have you fitted coilovers?

I wouldnt use spacers, dont like the idea of them - having said that i have nothing to back this up with, they are probably perfectly fine to use

It's on standard wheels and K-tec coilovers. My dad's advising me against spacers. Something to do with the hub atm is central in the wheel making the steering accurate etc. He say's once you fit spacers the hub is no longer central and it can make the steering skittish over bump's. Obviously it's no problem on track but the road is another story. I must admit i'm slightly struggling to see how it's affected how my dad say's, but he has built some very good car's in the past and i've never known him to be wrong about something like this in the past lol. Just wondered on people's experience's.
