LOL, ph1 172 is 54mm !!!!!!!

How are you finding trouble getting 54mm fitment coilovers, theres loads.
Theres not many 52mm fitment coilovers. I dont see the problem. Making 52mm to 54mm on the struts is a waste of time/money/coilover.

LOL hang on.
you dont wanna buy cheap coils, but you dont wanna spend 700+ so what are you thinking your going to get ? kemixx coils ?
fks are 500 !
Its absolutely bizzare to change bolt spacing and going to the hassle of doing it, when theres perfectly good coils out there.
Its just beyond me.

Like I said, i'm after second hand decent coilies. I'm tight fisted - can't come to grips with spending that much on coilies. How many times do I have to say this? It's not that hard to understand, surely.
For example I just missed out on a set of H&R's second hand for 370 odd. That's the sort of thing i'm after, however there's a few second hand cup coilies/sus and 1.2 spax etc knocking about at a decent price, so I wanted to know if it was possible and how much it would cost to get one of the bolt holes drilled out.

well to get them drilled out properly it will cost a fair old bit.
and by the time you've done it its barely worth doing.
but if your tight fisted then go for it :S

That's the sort of answer I was looking for in the first place, but I wanted to know if say, the FK (for example) coilovers they do for the 1.2's etc are any different from the sports other than the bolt spacing? If not, I personally couldn't see having one of the holes drilled up/down would cost much or even take much doing yourself. Since 172/182 non-cup second hand sus gets swiped straight away as soon as they come up and the 1.2/cup sus seemed to go cheaper considering less people were after them, then it might work out easier/cheaper.

No, no different but the spacing.
But its just pure hassle to save twenny quid, if that.

Wouldn't want to give you advice on the actually drilling. Cause if you f**k up, you've f**ked the strut.
That's why i see it pointless.

For sale section, lmao. Or scrappy.
This is my last post in this topic, but as a note, you really shouldn't skimp on suspension as its a vital point of the car, keeping you on the road and alive.
Good luck.

Lots of Alfas
This depends on how adjustable they are and what one you get but coilovers designed for a 1.2 may not be rated or will be hard to adjust for a 172. The 172 is a lot heavier at the front, so for example if the coilovers will go down 60mm for a 1.2, they will probably go down 80mm on a 172.
