Clio 172 & Cup 182 Suspension

[Kris_M]

I have a Clio 172 Mk2 and was wondering if there would be any point in changing the suspension to that, which is found on a Clio 182 Cup? And if I did would there be a noticeable difference??

If any one can give me any advise that would be great. Cheers

not a simple change over IIRC, different hubs or something

tbh mate i wouldnt, new springs is a good starting point! apex -40mm for 172 job done.

 

[Kris_M]

What does 40mm look like? I think it might look 2 LOW!

 

[Tom_E]

no it will look good..trust! ive got mine on order atm...dannyboy172 has them on the 172..its looks good! and low! do a search on them,they are discussed alot.

Springs alone are unlikely to ever make a car look too low (although I am sure there are -90mm springs for a Calibra or something that probably do )

Apex are good.

Horses for courses when it comes to springs...Eibachs won't lower the car noticably, definately not a 172 cup.

APEX are fine, coilovers even better.
