cup chassis identification



  clio 182
Hey guys (& gals if any here)
Epic newbie here, so please forgive me if this comes across as an idiotic question.

I got a 182 a coupel of weeks ago, advertised as a 182 with bith cup packages.
It needed a wheel bearing doing so off I went to fet one, and was told there was 2 (cup and non cup chassis).
As im the king at ordering the wrong parts I took both as wasnt sure.
On fixing the bearing it took the cup bearing (obviously returned n I n cup bearing ;p).
Now im thinking of changing the coilovers but again come across cup and non cup versions.
SO! how can I tell for sure its a cup chassis and some one hasnt built a frankenstien (so to speak)?


Again sorry if this comes across idiotic lol
 
  Many.
If it used the larger Cup bearing, it'll have the 60mm cup spacing on the hub, since its the hub thats different (along with the bolt spacing on that) and wishbones having more caster.

I think there might be a slighty thicker Rear ARB (Thats poss all 182's though?) also slighty wider rear track.

Otherwise its extra front caster, different hub (with larger bearing and 60mm spacing) so thus due to bolt spacing the front shocks are different as you've encountered. Springs are also slightly lower.

Pretty sure thats it for the Cup pack.
