If you're looking at changing the suspension you'll be better getting a standard 182 without cup packs. Cheaper to upgrade suspension and much more coilover options. Think there is only 2 options for the 182 with cup packs and they're both 1K plus.
you'd have to change the hubs mate, not sure how much that would be, and then cost of all dampers and spring all round. To be honest, having standard 182's gives you more scope to make the suspension more versitile. There are so many coilover options for the standard 182 without cup packs, so...
the seats are more comfortable and huggy ;) and the one off paint, wheels and only 500 made. If you put the suspension on the cup it would be just the same though. Rear dampers are different also, not sure what springs are in the trophy dampers though.
you saying they're not worth it danny? the ones in the pics don't look well made though, edges not cut straight etc. They a home made jobby by a customer?
Handling is noticably different and ride hight is noticable if next to each other.
obviously with sportlines the ride hight is substancially lower than standard so the dampers will be less effective as they're not designed to be that low. coilovers would be a good comparison and would work...
would advise going with someone's on here if you can. at least then you'll know it's been looked after. You'll have to pay a tenner and become a member to see the ads though. worth the money for other forum stuff also.
i'm suprised your abs sensor hasn't been damage to be honest. Forgot to fit one of my spacer, turned the disk and the abs ring was rubbing on the sensor. Doing a track day without the spacer must have done something to them?
One of mine is the same mate. I've just put it down to the mechanism on the caliper itself. Get under and see if the section where the cable changes from 1 to 2 and see if it's straight. Give it a tighten, but they're not the best handbrake anyway really.
