Nope!

Fitted bumpstops the other day and it has stopped the tyres hitting the front arch. Got them off Ebay for about £13 in the end, look like decent quality too. Thanks chaps!!

Ok so I've ordered some bump ststops let's hope that solves the problem. Just one question. Why would it be hitting the bump stop during hard cornering? I'd have thought they were there as more of a cushioning to prevent damage to the shock piston over full suspension travel?

You could be right. I took a loot in the arch to see what damage had been done and I didn't see any gaiter/boot on the shock. And no bump stop on top of the shock body or anywhere on the piston shaft itself

I'd hope so seeing as the shocks haven't been changed to my knowledge. Would it really hit the bump stops in cornering, thought they were more there to stop the shock bottoming out over hard compressions

Only eibach springs on standard shocks.

Wheel looks central in the arch, compared to the other side which doesn't rub quite as bad. I've not heard of other standard 182's rub this bad so I guess something must be wrong, maybe the shocks are shagged. It's rubs on the liner and on the bumper bracket. As my previous car was a land...

As the title says I'm getting some bad front tyre rubbing in my front arches when cornered hard. It's a 2004 ff 182 cup with 10mm lower eibach springs. It's rubbed on the bumper bracket ever since I've had it even when I had it on the original springs. It's on standard wheels with 205/45/16...

The novetly wore off instantly...then turned into frustration...then anger. I can now change gear so fast it doesn't have a chance to pop though!

Mainly because it pops and bangs! It's not a group b rally car from the 80's with anti lag! Doesn't gain anything apart from making you look like a tit.

K tec are too far, mike is only about 40min away so i'll be giving him a call i think. Thanks for the info

Who's Mike in Stains? Does he trade under a name at all ? I've looked at 519 in bedford and have heard good things about them

Thank's I'm not too far from wycombe..can you recommend any good independant specialists about?

Thee best colour choice surely! Its on 205/45/16's i think, standard wheels. Suspension is definitely standard. Can see theres a tiny lip just by the front bumper bolt it slightly catches on..this is only when i corner it like i've just stolen it though. Is there any adjustment on the clutch...

Got myself a 182 cup in arctic blue, Looks like a good forum so i thought i'd join! Heelloooooooooo. Cars pretty standard, got an annoyingly loud k tec decat back exhaust and has had the ecu re flashed by stone automotive ( stone used to be jms i take it, but stones address is the same as mark...
