182 FF Conversion

[Matt26]

So, what would I need to do in order to convert my standard 182 to a FF version? Cup spoiler, respray wheels in anthracite and lowered suspension - is that it? What ride height?

I've read the guide to spotting which versions are which, but it doesn't cover all of my questions. This is only hypothetical as I'd have to run it past the wife first.

The hubs are different aswell

Isn't the arb thicker too?

Also a front splitter.

In all honesty you should have just bought a 182 with cup packs! The only saving grace for you is there is more of a selection of aftermarket coilovers from memory!

Yes, this is the most sensible answer so far.

Just get a cup spoiler, splitter and respray your alloys anthracite. The rest I wouldn't bother with tbh.
Get sportline or cooksport springs.

Thanks. What ride height does the Cup come with as standard (ie how much does it have to be lowered)?

 

[PaulC182]

Its lowered like 1/2mm so nothing

Is there something about the rear axle being a wider track width? Or is that fiction

On a 172 Cup, the Cup chassis was 3mm lower and there was 20mm wider track at front and 10mm at back, but that doesn't matter too much as if you put the Cup Spoiler on and get some other suspension, who will know? Instead of paying £150+ for Renault Splitter, get Skoda Fabia one for around £12! (Do a search)

Isn't the cup packed car supposed to have a slightly quicker steering rack too?

I wasnt aware of it...

why bother, the 182s are getting older, let it go out in style, massive spoiler?, gold speedlines?

Don't think this was the case for 182 cups. Wasn't that much different in terms of running gear.
