BC Coilovers Not Fitting?

    Went to fit some BC coilovers yesterday and unfortunately they do not seem to fit.
    The tube that fits into the hub carrier is quite loose, the top of the hub is angled slightly off 90degrees to the bore, and the retainer does definitely not go down far enough to fit the retaining bolt through.

    Has anybody else had this issue when ordering them for the R26?

    Is there more than one hub carrier design between the 225s and R26?

    And does anybody have any idea what care they are for?

  3. the ring position and angle is right, there was a discussion on here a good couple of years ago, but it looks like the bracket has been placed too high, r26 and 225 hubs are the same

    Cheers mate, cant see in the photo but the rod that goes down into the hub is over a inch from getting to the bottom too, the retaining lug covers the bolt hole so cant do them up anyway.
     
  5. I am sure on mine that you can see the end of the shock unit slightly showing through the bottom, so it looks like you have the wrong ones, or maybe the wrong car :laughing::laughing::laughing: is there any part numbers on the strut

    Only labeling on the struts is;

    RENAULT 0-10
    02-09 Megane II FR (front right?)
