cup packs?

[cly]

can anyone tell me how you can tell wheather a clio has cup suspension? any visible things i should look out for?

thanks

well if you can look at the spring rateing colour marks, there on the middleish coil on each spring

id just look under the rear of the car at the springs as you can see them more easy

if its a 172 cup then they should be yellow and white mark

is 182 then i think its a red yellow and white

just buy after market springs then you definatly know what you have.

Also just wondering if someone could answer this, what differences is there between the 172 and 172 cup (visual differences). *on behalf of cly*

Thanks.

 

[sean_rae]

Spoiler and lack of ABS, Xenons and half leather is the biggest difference on the 172 Cups and 172's.

 

[sean_rae]

i didnt know they didnt have ABS :S

 

[Beef-Mc]

i didnt know they didnt have ABS :S

172 Cup's don't have it.

182 Cups do.

[Beef-Mc]

Looks like 5 cups, no girls to me :S

Best bet is to grab someone that knows what there talking bout and they'll help you out.
