did not know that a R19 16V wishbone would give you a widder track then a clio would.

can someone explain that to me? and what do you havne to change?

Its a longer wishbone, but you also need longer drive shafts, williams shocks etc

sowith others words "a big investment"

It depends if you can source things 2nd hand. Its a good few hundred quite and at least £500 if you but new parts....driveshafts are the most expensive individual items - suspension is expensive too, just depends if you opt for uprated stuff or coilovers.

the williams wishbones are the same as R19 16v wishbones, the clio 16v's wishbones are not as wide as them, which is one reason why the williams has a wider track, obviously driveshafts/shockers/arb etc are needed too!

[mikeymikewakey]

Wheres the best and cheapest place to get a new ARB from?

i think reno are the only ppl to make the arb mate(afaik), so its reno or 2nd hand if you can find one!

beware, ive had 2 sets of wishbones from an r19 16v and both have ended up with worn balljoints. i put a post up a little while ago about this. ive also had a look on dialogys and r19 16v and williams both have different part numbers for wishbones so im pretty sure they are slighty different, maybe the ball joints sit at slighty different angles and with the r19 ones fitted they are put under more stress ????
