Righto folks, i'm away to stick some -50mm APEX 16v springs and shocks onto my 1.2 clio this weekend and i've a few questions;

- i've got some nearly new 1.2 top mounts sitting here which i'd like to use on the shocks...i know they'll fit but will the cock up camber or anything?

- i've currently got -35mm 16v springs on atm which has put the ride hieght similar to (but not quite) what -55 non-16v springs would do...will the -50mm springs lower it MUCH more considering they'll likely be higher poundage?

cheers!

pretty sure the top mounts are the same. I bought some valver shockers with the top mounts left on them and they are identical to my RT ones.

Hmmm...the 1.2 ones i have are defo different from the 16v ones...not as much rubber on them/not as big. I sorta thought this was a 16v/non-16v difference but maybe theres 2 typres for all?

I've just bought some new ones off ebay so i'll see how they go.
