clio cup racer suspension on a 182

[Bod 182]

As title as anyone ever fitted clio cup racer suspension to a 182 cup does the subframe need changing to suit any help would be grateful.

Is the car getting used soley for track? If the answer is road + occasional track days then avoid, way to stiff for the road.

Speak to Fred at btm. He ran cup rear dampers on his, still may be. f**king harsh tbh!! Iirc he had to see a chiropractor after a while.

i still run them on my car, its dangerous to drive on the road TBH, way way way too hard, roads i can go down in my volvo at 80mph+ are 20mph pot hole dodging runs in the clio, i've kinked my roof too

Do TCR still have parts for mk2 cup racers then? or did you pick them up a while back? Wouldnt mind getting some spares for my car.

been in a 172 cup racer before, was SOLID lol. Coilovers are bad enough.

[mikekean]
