Right, over the last month or so ive been trying to get some Koni shocks fitted to my non cup 182.
Some may have read my other posts.
First of all I went to BBPT who checked and confirmed that the Koni shocks for the 172 doesnt fit my model from this I then emailed ktec who said that they would either fit or wont fit and that there was a possiblility that renault could have fitted the wrong parts from new!?!..... Still being completely confused I went to Renault who checked on there computer that the part numbers for hubs and shocks for the 172 was exactly the same for the non cup 182 which Im now thinking that person also got that information wrong....????
Now my latest adventure took me to Elite in Essex who were very good they had my car up in the air took some details part number,code etc..From the suspension.. Armed with there information they contacted Koni direct who confirmed that there is no kit available for the non cup 182 but are now aware of the differences in the range so they are now putting these into developement and have told me that it could be upto 6-12 months for these to come into production.
What bothers/confuses me is that 2 company,s and Koni themselves say that the 172 is not the same fitment as the non cup 182 now Im happy with there findings.
I no I never got alot of response from my previous posts regarding this issue probably because no one really knew, but do the company,s advertising the fitment of the 172-non cup182 really no if they fit or not!?.........

Rob.
