Ques : 1994 Clubman Shocks and Wheels query

Lucky_Luke · Postby **Lucky_Luke** » Fri Nov 25, 2016 1:20 pm

Hey fellas,

I'm finally looking to get rolling in my own mx again and am looking for some forum goodness on specs and compatability

I'm investigating putting a 1994 clubman over the SA pits and need to return suspension and wheels as close to stock as possible to ensure it complies with their min measurement requirements.

For a 1994 Clubman NA8
Can anyone confirm what is the stock rim/wheel size/offset?
or even show their tyre placard for one?
I always thought they came with 15's but most sites say 14's.

Also my father in law has a 1993 Limited Edition NA8 with stock shocks/springs, I'm looking to bolt these out and into the clubman to ensure the ride height is legal for the SA pits inspection.
I suspect yes, but can anyone confirm if these will bolt straight out of the 93 and into the 94?

Cheers for the help!

Stock rim size is the same as any other NA8 at 14x6 with about 45 offset. Likewise, while the shocks are different for a Clubman, the springs are the same rate and same length. So standard NA8 springs and shocks will give you the original ride height. You can interchange original springs and shocks between a standard NA8 and a Clubman with no problems. Fitments are all identical.

Yeah, 45 off set - wheel pics follow - see 4th down: http://www.miata.net/faq/wheel_weights.html
Clubman Bilsteins used OEM NA6/NA8 springs, but spring perch was about 15mm lower than OEM NA6/NA8 dampers: viewtopic.php?f=76&t=30041
NA6/NA8 dampers & springs will bolt straight in as Phil says.

Well how embarrassing turns out my father in laws is a 1600... how did I get that wrong!

Thanks 93 clubman, I'll check out your links above.
I suppose I'm now looking to slot NA6 into the NA8 now ...which you suggest should be fine.

Hey Luke, long time

I'm having to do the same with my Clubman haha

Depending on when you're looking to take yours through you can probably borrow my stock wheels and Bilsteins, I need to take the turbo kit out of mine before it goes through

Adam! I wondered if you were still around lol.
Yeah been a while mate sold my NA and NC a few years back and trying to get back into it.

Sounds like bad luck for you bud! This whole regency thing will be a new experience for me.

I would def be keen for shocks/springs and wheels

i'm hoping to pick car up in a week or so, so will be looking to swap asap. Should touch base, will pm you.

Cheers

Yeah, thought the '93 LE might have been a 1.6, hence mentioning NA6 in my post. No probs using NA6 dampers & springs, if for some reason you don't use Adam's old Clubman Bilsteins & NA8 wheels.
