cup vs non cup 172 ? straight swap

[leew88]

am i right in think the 172 cup and resr shocks and front arms will bolt straight on?

and the arms push the wheel base slightly further forward,cup springs slightly stiffer but dampers identical?

can someone confirm this as i has a cup donor that has 2 new arms new in box and the shocks are slot better condition than my standard 172

Yeah they'll fit

excellent,a few more quid ticked off the cost of the donor

What condition are the arms in? Because tbh if they are the original bushes and ball joints, you are better either buying new ones or putting polybushes on.

No point doing all that work to have warn bushes etc

they are new parts never fitted (arms) got a bit of bits n bobs
