Update: So received my Spax fully adjustable coilovers complete with 280lb Front springs courtesy of Dave A. Went on great but the drivers side adjuster bolts rubbed badly. I thinks its down to the Clio wheels offset so I'm prob gonna go for some good old Vauxhall wheels soon. Here's a few pics anyway. Once its all set up, I'll get some more pics up of the car.




Groove on tyre!

Catching on the adjusting collers. I'm not entirely sure mate. My mate reckons they're et38. I'm gonna try some Cesaro's and hope they're better clearance. Any ideas on what to do?

you will need 3mm spacers with them.

the renult wheels shouldnt be catching if there et38 as they will be sticking further away from the coilover

Update: Went back up MIJ Performance last Wednesday with Monster for my new system. Had lots of work done there on my VTS and the engineering and service is second to none. Due to the downpipe, I went for a 2.25" straight through system with a 3.5" outward rolled tailpipe (which had to be cut off a Scooby backbox and welded onto mine!) Wasn't going to have it as loud as the VTS but Monster egged me on as usual and it sounds awsome. I'll get a video up soon but for now here's a few piccys

UpdateHad a play around with my coilover today and fitted my Cesaro's with new tyres. Think it look real nice at this height for driving but has much much more left on the shock for shows Having them refurbed and sprayed in a few weeks too! Comments welcome

Played with the coilovers today and it Doesn't seem to rub so far which is good news. After various opinions I've decided I'm going to have the wheels refurbed in star silver to keep the clean, original look going. Going more and more off dark wheels everyday and I think original silver alloys will suit the GSI down to the ground
