182 non cup with 182 cup springs?

[MICKSID]

i have just picked up a 182 non cup 05 reg. just wondered if i could replace the springs with 182 cup ones? and keep my statrd shocks.

can anyone tell me the difference between non 182 and 182 cup springs.?

 

[MICKSID]

pretty please.

You could but there would be no point.

Just get some eibachs.

 

[MICKSID]

would like too, but missus just passed her test and its speed humps galore around here.

thought by fitting cup springs would lower it slightly and stiffen it up slightly.

 

[Schweppy]

So do eibachs. They are better handling and dont lower by very much at all.

so, what springs do i need to lower my non cup 182.... i wanna use renault springs so insurance dont notice.

will the 182 cup springs fit non cups

or

do i need 172 springs (but are these lower than non cup 182 springs)?

Yes they'll fit (182 cup springs) but I think the OE difference is circa 5mm.

do you mean there 5mm shorter? it just when ive looked at some cup 182s they just look alot better around the front arch (gap is not as big) as when i look at mine, mine looks like its on stilts.

so wanted to lower it slightly, but without putting proper lowering springs on it. becuase then insurance etc would be massivly effected.

^^ if you get eibach proline the springs are black

how much do these lower by??? isnt there markings on the springs to say that there eibach?

 

[rich-6]

Paint them if you're that bothered, The insurance will need to be notified anyway because they have been put on aftermarket

Put some Eibach Sportlines on, lot better!

I prefer eibach pro's. And they look like standard springs, slight lowering effect.
