They come with the original receipt?
R35 GTR
no, why would they? they are second hand.
R35 GTR
they should fit 182 without cup packs.

they will fit and the H+R come with a slotted hole to adjust camber.

Proof of how old they are, they could been used for only a few months or 4 years.
And i would have thought any warranty would be invalid without proof of purchase.
Just trying to guage whether its worth saving a couple of hundred quid over new or not.
No they dont, FK's do IIRC but H&R's do not have a slotted hole. I should know I've had a pair on a Phase 2 172 and a cupped 182 now!

ok ta, have just PM'd him
Just spoke to Mike @ Motorsport wheels, who supplies H&R and he assures me that the kit for non cup 182's is the same kit as 172's. And will fit.

well nobody has ever commited to trying it before on an un-cup'd 182, they are quite rare beasts.
The camber would be out due to the wider track of the 182 (compared to 172) so I would have thought camber bolts would be required at the very least. And if they dont provide enough of a fix then FK coilovers with built in camber adjustment AND camber bolts would be the next thing to try. Or KW.
I'm waiting for Koni adjustable shocks personally but let us know how you get on.

thats the million dollar question i've always wanted to know. We all know that a Cup has increased track with the turinis being ET 38.5 as opposed to ET 40 ish of the standard 172. Now....... with a 182. Uncupped has silver wheels and apparently have a same hub set as a 172, so in theory has the same track as a 172 (bar tyre width) Now a cup packed 182 has anthricite alloys and different hubs. So is this track different to an 'Uncupped 182 or the same? If it is different are the hubs different (wider) on a cupped 182 or are the wheels a different offset (like a 172 cup)? A question for edde?!

yeh thats a good question, me thinks its all getting too risky to just spent £700 + fitting and setting up just to find out there are problems, maybe just some eibach's it is then.
Could i just change my non-cuped 182 hubs for cuped hubs, would that be all that needs doing to make it the same as 182 cup (apart from changing the shocks & springs obviously).
Would also make the H&R's easier to sell when i take them off the car when i sell it.
If so anyone happen to have any lying about.

edde has confirmed in the past that the uncup'd 182 has wider track than a 172 due other components which are shared with the 182 (cup'd) as opposed to a 172. There's a lot more differences between 172 and 182 than people let on, a large number of parts are common though as we all know. The wheelbases are even different I believe.

I have mine sitting here and the hole is elongated. It's a slotted hole.:rasp:
R35 GTR
sorry was just being arsey.
They are near enough sold now, but they are a year old ish.It'll be the first set I've ever seen like that and other than the two sets i've had i've seen another 3 and all had two round holes. Either your eyesight is on the piss or they've changed the bolt holes in the last six months.
A cup pack comprises of different alloys, suspension and spoiler and can be specified as an option on the base 182. I wouldn't expect renault to go to the effort of fitting different hubs. Surely only the 182 cup/Trophy has the extended hubs :S
R35 GTR
My eye sight is fine (well short sighted ) and I'm an engineer so know what a hole looks like...... these shocks are around 12 months old.

No, a 182 with NO cup packs has different hubs to a cup packed version. As in the above post bearings are different and the suspension bolt spacing is too..... hense why H&R have two part no's for 182's.....one with cup suspension, one witout
My H&R's on my cup did NOT have an elongated hole either, i needed camber correction bolts.
tiTTy & SV650
the pic of Daves H&R does show an elongated top hub mount hole / slot which just suggests to me that someone might have modded them slightly?
Anyway its nowhere near enough of a slot to cope with a 12mm wider track i.e. 6mm per side. I don't know what camber bolts could do to help?
How long are the slots on FK coilovers?
