[197] Springs problem

[poinski]

Hi guys, i recently got a stock shocks set for 197 (large mounts) and a set of Eibach lowering springs (Pro-kit 20mm). Also, to complete this i got a set of strut mounts to fit the shocks but the problem i found is that the springs are too small for the mounts. It`s my fault that i haven`t read carefully the specs for the springs where it says that they fit only sport suspension (maybe could be the clio 200 one?).

My question is, so i don`t buy a new set of springs, can i somehow get other mounts that will fit the body and also the springs? I can`t find anywhere this information. I have a feeling that the clio 200 mounts would fit the springs but not the body of the car.
Can you help me please? Thank you!

There was 2 topmounts, the earlier larger one and the later smaller one. I dont believe theres anything you can do to convert one to the other unless you had custom parts made, which would probably work out more costly than buying new springs.

Can you not return the springs for the correct ones?

No, unfortunately i can`t since they`ve been installed on the car. I guess no luck today.
