yea your right.. but he seemed really ligit etc n the price was so right (350 inc delivary n camber shims etc) so i thought f**k it, y not. n even after purchase (paypal) he gave me the tracking number etc n told me all about the set up n whats what, so all being well they should b mint, especially since he only had them on the car in the summer due to winter being t bad with snow..

time will tell once they arrive anyway.. fingers crossed.

Right, H&R's arrived today according to parents, as I am working away I am unable to see them for myself until Friday afternoon

got 2 people who have offered to fit (not set-up) them for me and both are around an hour's travel from me..

Any1 else here able to fit AND set-up my H&R coilovers (Inc. Camber shims) this weekend near cumbria!? Obv money will b paid for doing so.

Cheers.

Seriously, if you want the rear setting up, you WILL need more shims.

 

[Šįk]

Will the ones I have now not be able to do anything!? How much are shims?

Sorry I have no idea what's what n what does what, can any1 explain a little oN it..?

Cheers.

The ones you have will fit fine, its the outcome that will be wrong. Adding camber, adds toe in so you'll have a nice bit of rear camber, but a few mm toe in too which just isn't right. To set it up properly, ou need to string it up, fire your camber shims in and measure what toe you have, then buy shims to suit.

They are about £20+vat each, only available from R-Sport but its worth ringing a few Clio cup teams that ran the Mk2 i.e TCR, Boulevard, JHR etc but I doubt you'll get much luck as I ask all the time and Im in the paddock!

Cheese, so in the mean time il be able to fit using what I have then just buy the needed shims and get the fitted Soon after asap.

Btw it's all just for fast road n the odd track day..
