View Full Version : FK coilovers
Been having a quick look around and these look good, think im going to try saving for some. Just got a quick question, everywhere that sells them have 2 types, ones for the clio and ones for the clio williams.

Would the williams ones go on the clio 16v? Whats the differences? The williams ones any better? Thanks, Rob.

The Willy ones won't fit on the valver mate, as the williams is a wider track.
:D
Oh right no probs, that explains it, lol :D

To be honest m8...I'd go for something other than FK's unless u are handy with a grinder! :shock: I had to grind off some of my hubs cos as standard, you cannot move the bottom of the struts in order to get the correct camber. I must admit, the car does handle very well now after all the effort, but bare in mind that you will have to pay over £100 to get them properly laser alligned. Don't say I hav'nt warned you! :lol:
When i took mine to get the toe sorting out, the boys said the camber was absolutely spot on.
Guess some of us just have the "touch"
Eh Matt :wink: :lol:

Lol....cheeky git! :lol: U still had to take of some of ur hubs though m8 did'nt you?
Yeah, thats how i got the adjustment. The chap at the lazer allignment place said the camber is spot on.
Its adjusted to minimum camber now, before i had camber like this...

they fit fine on the williams/hybrid, no hub shaving needed here :lol: camber, rideheight, handling all spot on.....

Thats because the rest of your chassis is twisted to compinsate for it :lol:

As suggested by jay s...I think it's only the valver ones that seem to be a problem....and the williams ones are a straight swap.
Jays is a valver bud, unless he is running williams track?!
