182 cup Owners, what Suspension chosen?

[scottiebhoy]

Was just wanting to find out what fellow 182 cup owners have chosen Suspension/coilover wise for their cars, road, track or both?

 

[Pearce]

Trophy suspension

 

[Gt rob]

for my daily driven cup, i went for H and R coilies

 

[scottiebhoy]

Trophy suspension

That with standard springs, is it alot to change over?

No mate with sportlines it's just like fitting normal suspension mate as in a straight swap

 

[scottiebhoy]

Sounds good, your running 15 or 16?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

ASTs on my cup packed 182 (so same thing really )

 

[Craig.H]

There is not much choice for our cars :dapprove: i have started looking after my camber thread.....if only you could bet the bilstiens!

15's mate got a pic if you want to see how it looks

 

[Sir_Dave]

For less than £500 quid, you wont get any better than Trophy suspension imho.

Have you driven a 182 on h&rs?

If you wouldnt mind. You use the car on track, how does it handle?

Apparently H&R are ok coupled with a Whiteline ARB, just what ive heard bout rusting puts me off.

Bilstiens would be ideal!

 

[Pearce]

No mate not on track here's a quick pic

 

[Christopher.]

Standard

 

[scottiebhoy]

That looks pretty good, same wheels too, hows the ride?

 

[Pearce]

Good mate havnt had the geo setup yet but it's load better than the ktec pap

 

[scottiebhoy]

Ktec is what i have at the moment, need to change to something firmer for track. Got a whiteline so should be pretty stiff altogether.

Trophy dampers need alot of maint?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Standard everything,it's just fine.

 

[Bassplayer]

How fast was the 182 around the Top Gear track? Spend the money on improving you. Get some instruction on a track day - best value for making you faster!

That is the plan, but need to change my coilovers as the ktecs, wether im an ace on track or not is not the choice for track, IMO.

Apparently H&R use bilstein shocks.

I want new suspension, but just cant find anything.

Nearly got H&R's but a few on here said they have reliability problems.

Was almost the same, heard H&Rs were good with a whiteline ARB. Just heard lots about them rusting and reliability.
