You need 172 hubs then mate, or alternatively get the avo's machined to suit. You just need to get one of the holes elongated so they suit 54mm or 60mm spacing hubs.
You need to measure the centres of the bolt holes mate, but I'd hazard a guess that they're 54mm non cup packed hubs if we are talking 182's as they are 60mm centres, but they're cup hubs if we are talking 172 cup. Make sense?
172 cup has longer steering arms than the others, and I think that the 182 has the same length steering arms.
I've got 2 spare standard length steering arms if your interested? No play at all.
Wheels spinning with the car in the air is normal. The noise your hearing is just the gears in the gearbox making noise because they're being turned by the gearbox input shaft. It's perfectly normal so I wouldn't worry about it.
Yeah the seal kit will do a pair of calipers and comes with the slider bits as well, but not the slider pins. To clean the pad carrier just use a file, but don't got ott and remove a lot of material.
Pop the pistons out and check them. Could be that they're starting to seize from corrosion build up.
They need to be nice and clean to allow the piston to retract properly when the brakes are released.
For the costs involved I'd just refurb them with a seal kit personally. Big Redd sell them...
