182 cup suspension options.

[mikeh]

I have a cup packed 182 and I'm looking for new suspension. Mine is becoming tired and figure it might be time to cough up that little extra and get something decent.

What are my options?

I have an absolute maximum budget of £700, but the lower the better as if I can squeeze some new bushes and top mounts in to the budget, I'd be much happier!

As for use - mostly for the road and autotests, but I next year I plan on tracking it a lot more.

havnt said if you want it low or for driving? id say new or uprated dampers and eibach sportlines with a rear arb is meant to be very good..

 

[mikeh]

I'm far more interested in performance than aesthetics, so I'd say "driving"

 

[Stefan.]

good! well thats what i see on here as a good set up, others might add to it or give you other options bud

I'm struggling to see that the standard dampers are up to the task of serious "off road" use like autotests and track days.

Uprated dampers sounds great, but as far as I can see, only Koni make them and not in the 60mm spacing.

^ Was just going to post my thread. Cheers mate.

Have a read through them, hope it helps.

That thread seems to suggest that the Spax are about my only option. H&R are out of budget, and I cannot find B14s in 60mm fitment anywhere.

welcome to cup packed suspension ha

 

[James28]

Yea Cup packed is a nightmare really lol.
Pretty sure Bilstein B14's aren't available in cup fitment (as of yet - there were rumours)

Iceman is selling some KW V2's in the for sale section.

 

[mikeh]

Yeah, I saw that. I've made him an offer (the absolute maximum I can afford), but I don't have high hopes

 

[James28]

Pretty sure KW's don't come in cup fitment?

Edit: Just checked the thread and he says they've been modded to fit cup fitments..
