[QUOTE="oscar, post: 163835, member: 2757"] okay dude, so the rear springs on a car with a dead rear axle (like our cars have....the big beam basically) ... the springs sit on little rubber perches as seen below (believe it or not, google didn't throw any good examples) the only difference in the clio b and twingo gt (with 58mm bolt spacing, this part is ESSENTIAL to making sure the coilovers fit the twingo. this relates to the two bolts that hold the front suspension strut onto the hub) suspension is a small variation in the diameter of the perch that the rubber perch / mount that the rear springs sit on. they are both the same shape at the bottom where they sit on the chassis, but the top side of the perch where it fits into the end of the coil spring on the gt's perch is a little different to the clio's perch which will require a stanley blade to slice off a few little ridges which is what i done. but if you just buy 2c rear spring perches for the clio b then it will be a direct swap. you'll see this at the bottom of the springs below, the dirty creamy coloured perches the spring sits on.
