standard 182 suspension to cup?

[jme144]

having recently learned that my car is a standard 182 (despite having cup badges on the door pillars, yet with silver wheels and no cup spoiler??), I have decided that I want to uprate the suspension? What would i need to do to get it to cup or ff standard? and is it actually worth it? any tips or advice would be welcome

Easiest and cheapest way is to fit new 172 cup shocks.

No real difference apart from bolt spacing. Go for 172 cup fronts and 182/182 cup rears

Are the 182 and 182 cup rear shocks the same then??

Why is it best to go for 172 cup fronts??

 

[DannyR]

Rears are the same.

They're slightly stiffer and actually cheaper than the normal 172/182 non cup front shocks.

I have used cup shocks and springs for sale if you're interested? Even in just the rears, which are in better condition anyway.
