FK lowering springs? Wheel spacer size?

lgonzalez · May 4, 2013

A set of these have come up second hand for £50, 40mm drop and low mileage useage (apparently)

What are people's opinions on fk springs? Can't find any decent reviews on them.

I basically want my car to sit lower (obviously) but don't want to buy rubbish quality products.

Also what size spacers can you guys recommend for me as I'm clueless with spacer sizes?

Thank you all

I had FKs on my twingo, were alright and for lows they are good.

Awesome

cuz I though sod it and paid for them. Apparenty fronts were never fitted and rears only for 300 miles due to issues with a butchered top mount he switched to coilies.

Any ideas of spacers dude?

Erm think I had 30mm per axle, ask black twingo I as I had the same as him and didn't have to mess around with longer or shorter bolts, they were from eBay but very good quality.

I have 25's on each side on the rear, i would say 20's would be better as i do get the occasional rub over bumps. But mine is low so you may not get that problem

Whatever black twingo I linked me that time ago made my standard GT wheels pretty flush with the arch, probably could've gone another 5mm though to be level with the arch :lol:

Is there a way I can measure something to find out? Just that my car being a non sport clio rather than a twingo, I'm thinking maybe that the gap that is there to be filled may be different? :-/
