suspension query

[Jaypee]

My mate has just started fittin a 60mm suspension kit on my 1998 mk2 ph1 clio with uprated shocks,he has came accross a problem on the front,he reckons the hole on the shock and the hole where it is attatched to are different(sorry 4 the bad explanation) does this sound familiar and can anything be done? i read something about camber correcting bolts on k-tec but wasnt sure wot they did.

your 1.2 probably has a 52mm bolt spacing, the struts are probably designed for a 58mm bolt spacing, nothing you can do but send the kit back.

I had the same problem with the fk kit, was guarenteed theyd fit, but they didnt, sent them back and got a spax adjustable kit.

is there a 60mm lowering kit(springs,shocks and dampers)i can buy for my car then if it has 52mm bolt spacing,the one im sending bak is made by g-max.

as I said, spax do an adjustable kit thatll fit, not cheap though.

A few other companies make kits for it aswell, cant think who off the top of my head though!

The other alternative is to get hub carriers with a 58mm bolt spacing and swap them over, pm j3ned for a price - probably the easiest solution short of sending the kit back.

Im not a fan of g-max kits anyway though... so wouldnt like to make a suggestion on what you should do.

Id get some 58mm hubs from a breakers yard there only £60 or so and easy to change.
Most suspension kits is for 58mm hubs unforunatly.
