Changing Hubs from a 172 Cup to 182 Cup Hub.

[Nick172Cup]

As above looking at the possibility of changing the hubs on my 172 Cup to 182 Cup/FF hubs as there is a set of coilovers i'm interested in off a 182 Cup. Just wondered if anyone has done this before or knows whats required to change them eg. will I need 182 driveshafts/lower arms/anti-roll bar?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Just the hubs afaik mate. You will need bearings and a special tool aswell. (i've been looking at putting 172 hubs on the 182 so I can run KW V2)

Ah right cool cool matey, heard from the Renault parts guy I use that the driveshafts are a different part number so would they still fit into a different hub or would I need 182 ones?

Fancy swapping hubs? Seems like the perfect scenario if they just swap straight over!

Not swapping hubs yet as i can't afford the suspension lol but yes its just a straight swap from what I have found.

No sweat matey, havent got these coilovers yet anyways but send us a Pm when your thinking of upgrading

And if anyone else can shed some light/experience/knowledge that would be cool!

im pretty sure the 182 cup drive shafts are slightly longer and possible the lower wishbones
