182 Cup Upgrade

[seand]

Hi all, got a completely original 182, and considering getting the £200 cup chasis upgrade. Anyone been there and got it done, if so whats your opinion, worth it or not??

Who is doing the upgrade or have you sourced the all the parts needed to do it?

The Cup packs as a 200 quid option from Renault where only available when you ordered the car.

Oh didnt know that, so you can't get the uprgrade at a later date??

The £200 quid option was tick box when buying the car new.

To retro fit the Cup bits after you would need to obtain all the relevant parts which will come in at more than that buying new.

Get coilovers instead, would work out a similar price to sourcing all the Cup parts and hubs, etc.

There a load of bits you'd need to get the Cup pack forget it realy it would costs a lot to buy new (about £1k). Better off buying H and R coilovers (you need the ones for the 172 as the 172 and non cup packed 182's have the same suspension measurments) for about £700 they will make the car handle better than Cup pack will.
