My first upgrades 2012 RS200 LY. Need your inputs.

Hi Guys,

Still waiting for my Clio to arrive, but since I will be travelling to Germany next week I thought it would be a good idea to order some parts online and save the shipping fees. BTW I am from Bahrain, Persian Gulf and I need to be careful with purchasing the correct items.

Here is my Clio

I think I will start with H&R lowering springs and 20mm spacers found on German eBay as follow:


  1. H&R Lowering Springs (29103-2) http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140549950051
  2. H&R 20mm Spacers (40365601). I found two packages one with longer black bolts http://www.ebay.de/itm/H-R-Spurverb...254333708?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item1c3b524d0c and the other with longer black bolts + lock nuts http://www.ebay.de/itm/H-R-Spurverb...977635941?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item51b7e5b665

Things to make sure,

a) Is the above given parts are the correct ones for my car?
b) Are the 20mm Spacers the best option for my wheels? Will they set flush with the arches?
c) Am I correct to say that the existing wheel bolts can't be used with the H&R 20mm spacers and therefore I need to get extended bolts? "I read somewhere that existing bolts can be used, but not sure".
d) From the two given spacers packages, which one should I get? With lock nuts or without?
e) What do you think about the prices?

I need to purchase them ASAP so they will be delivered on time when I am in Germany. Appreciate your urgent clarifications. Thank you.

I've noticed something, while looking at the bolts on the wheels it seems that there is no locking nut, am I right? If so, should I get the package that comes with the lock nuts or without?

Well it depends if you want your wheels to be easily stolen lol.

Plenty of traders on this site that can offer you deals on lowering springs and spacers, you need to make sure that they can post to you from Germany before you order.
 
[MENTION=29138]Chris91[/MENTION], you mean that I can use the locking nuts even if it came without from the factory?
 
I doubt there from the factory mate. Previous owner probably changed them, the standard nuts are not very good and people do change them.
