Cup 182

[fisher7m8]

To find out if my Clio is a cup how do I go about this reason is because want to order coilovers. Car is a Clio 182

Does it have headlamp washers, are the seats cloth?

 

[fisher7m8]

Yes to the above. I have the recaro bucket seats in the front I had to put the front splitter on myself. Have spoiler and xeons.

The only way you can 100% tell, is to measure the distance between the holes on the bottom of the front struts.

54mm is non cup, 60mm is cup from memory.

 

[COLZO]

Cup will NOT have headlamp washers or xenons. Also the back seat will not split/fold down 40/60 it is all one. Should have had front splitter on it.

But it could be a normal one with cup packed suspension.

Hence the need to measure the bolt holes.

 

[fisher7m8]

So just measure the holes. That's what I'll do then because it be for the suspension sizes anyway thanks. So just measure space between them both yea?

 

[Daniel]

Theres two bolt holes, in a vertical position. Its where you bolt the hub to the shock.

There will be two bolt ends poking out. Measure the distance between the two centres. Imagine measuring from one of your pupils to the other, rather than one end of your eye to the other.

 

[fisher7m8]

Wicked thanks alot for your help

 

[Daniel]

No problem.

As Daniel said measure the bolt spacing and hope its not cup packed(60mm)as the aftermarket suspension options are minimal.
