182 'Cup' Front ARB

[Jakey92]

I have been reading into the 182 Cup/Trophy/FF and apparently they have a thicker anti roll bar than other models. My question is: Does anyone know if this would fit on the other models? A 172 Cup more specifically...

Thanks

Iirc its only 2mm so pointless imo

Surely though that extra 2mm would help, I would of thought. I know, for instance, that Whiteline do thicker Anti Roll Bars for Subarus and Audi Quattros etc as handling uprgade option

2mm extra in both directions (ARB = round) makes quite a difference.

I thought they were all 25mm though on the sports TBH?


Assuming you are right that they are 2mm bigger, I would imagine that translates to something like 20% stiffer?

182 Cup and 172 Cup both have the thicker ARB.

Clio Ph1 2.0 16v RS-172: Outer mount - 22mm, Inner mount - 25mm
Clio Ph2 2.0 16v RS-172: Outer mount - 23mm, Inner mount - 25mm
Clio Ph2 2.0 16v RS-182: Outer mount - 22mm, Inner mount - 25mm
Clio 2.0 16v RS (172 & 182) Cup / Cup pack models: Outer mount - 23mm, Inner mount - 25mm

The inner are all 25 but the outer are different.

The inner are all 25 but the outer are different.

1mm difference on just the outer section sounds unlikely to be particuarly noticeable when driving it then TBH.

This is cliosport. People will insist there is a noticeable difference.

Many thanks for this! At least I know what size Poly bushes I would need

And thank you to the others for responding also
