gt coilovers

[hankhill]

any experts in here know if the clio mk 2 coilovers fit on to the gt as i heard they shared the same chassis and that?

The GT has 58mm bolt spacing where the front strut attaches to the hub.
MK2 clio ones will fit (but not the 52mm from 1.2 models, 54 or 60mm spaced ones from 172 182 trophy/cup)

172 and 182 dont use 58mm bolt spacing, its the non RS that uses 58mm apart from some 1.2 8v cars which use 52mm

so any non RS 58mm bolt spacing coilovers will fit

 

[singlespeed]

oops. Thanks Martin.

Clio 172/172 Cup and 182 non cup has 54mm hole spacing on the front shock absorbers, while all Clio 182 Cup and 182 with Cup pack has 60mm hole spacing.

A nice little table drawn up by a CS member here, showing which Mk2 Clios have which hubs
https://www.cliosport.net/forum/sho...ed-which-bolt-spacing-you-have&highlight=58mm

Twingo Non RS = 58mm
Twingo RS133 = 60mm (but need a mounting bracket for the front Anti Roll Bar)

so when people say the twingo RS is bassed on 182 setup i assume it pretty much is 182 setup? lol

Is it 58mm for the NA models aswell?

1200 16v clio mk2 coilies i got on mine , fitted no problem and cost me only £300

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Yay or nay?

Not taking it on track, just want firmer suspension and a little lower without ruining my shocks..

Cheap and cheerful any good?

 

[maggi200]

I would personally buy from a brand that I know and have done my research. Have you looked on perhaps Cliosport?

They're likely to be crashy with no development or consideration for ride quality.

 

[JE_GT]

Cheap Coilies will give you the ride quality of a wheel barrow

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Haha good, thats why i asked.. Didnt wanna buy anything ****..

Dont really have £400 to spend on them!

Would 2.0l clio struts fit on a 1.2 na twingo?

Clio is an 04 and twingo is a 59
