[Pauldredge]

who would be interested in this... not got any prices or anything like that as of yet but im after some coilovers for my 182 and was wondering if anyone else was?

 

[N!CK R]

lol... H&R's quite expensive arent they.

 

[Pauldredge]

gaz do a set for 182 cup'd... 400ish from ktec

h&r are over 1k lol

 

[Pauldredge]

anyone interested?

 

[N!CK R]

See if you can get the thread moved to Car Parts For Sale and get it stickied.
You'll get some interest then for sure.

 

[Craig]

would depend what coilovers and what price i would imagine mate

 

[fad]

I would contact one of the traders such as Jamsport and see what they can do on a set like H&R's or AST's if there is a group.

 

[mccabe172]

I d be interested but depends on cost.

[BenS_172]

Could be interested too..

 

[The Boosh!]

AST group buy ftw

 

[fad]

I'm seeing Mark on Saturday so will ask if he would be interested in doing a group buy on any of the kits they offer

 

[Meek_racing]

Would anyone be interested in a group buy for AST? they are £1300 + Vat (inc. top mounts). 5 or more and we are looking at approx £250 discount, maybe more if we get names down? Fitting, alignment etc is £200 + Vat.

[rabbit21]

definatly interested, depends on cost!

 

[Meek_racing]

Well it works out at £1245 for the coils and top mounts, then fitting on top of that. I'm guessing Curtis said £250 discount as it was a telephone enquiry, might drop more if we have people that are serious but I doubt we will ever see the price of the first group buy.

 

[Cunney]

Bump

Im interested, getting wound up with the lack of choices I have for the 182 cup now, tempted to just go with gaz coilovers :| somebody stop me please

Any word on if we've been offered a cost?

 

[Timmay]

dont get gaz - they are shocking (lol)

id be interested in a set for my cup packed rb

 

[Cunney]

My other option is shorter shocks and some 50mm springs, what shocks will go with the 182 cup?

 

[ForceIndia]

Anyone thinking of coilovers should really at least have a ride in a car equipped with the options you're thinking of before buying. Listening to the fanboys won't necessarily get you the suspension you want. I'd try and get some experience of AST, H&R, Bilstein, KW before buying.

 

[Cunney]

Dont know anybody with a 182 let alone a 182 with one of the above

 

[calum001]

i'd be up for it depending on price and what choices there is, would love to get AST's but cant afford that much at all

i'll need to find out if anyone local has coilovers so i can decide for myself

Doesn't need to be a 182,, a 172 on the same set.

Bilstein & KW don't do them for cupped packed 182's. If we had numbers then might be able to get them to look into the matter... AST are about £250-£300 more than H&R's and thats with a group buy of 5 or more.

Stab in the dark but people wanting WK's or Bilstein:

1. Meek Racing

Im on the list pal

 

[Pauldredge]

the only decent priced coilovers i got for a group buy was gaz ones which came in around 350-400ish... depending on how many people wanted them really.

 

[calum001]

Im going to wait and see about the new ktec ones when they come out for the 182 cup pack fitment later in the year

 

[scottiebhoy]

im up for a group buy on the ast coilovers and top mounts if its still going? Sure there the best choice

 

[timmyd]

I am in interested in a groupbuy for the ast suspension, have been looking into getting a set off jamsport, they have quoted this without a groupbuy.

There are a few spring rates for the AST aswell, so you can spec if you want it for road use, track use or a mixture of the two. The road springs are good for frequent track day use aswell.

Price wise there are two options
With AST top mounts: £1325+vat
Without AST top mounts: £1195+vat

If we get enough people interested then i contact jamsport and see what they say.

Thankyou
tim

 

[scottiebhoy]

Sounds good, spoke with curtis today at ast uk and defo sounds like the best bet for decent coilovers, can do it through either, which ever works out cheaper!
Anybody interested?
cheers

I'm looking for coilies for our cupped 182. was thinking about KW's though

whats the difference between the suspension bolt spacing on the 172/182 & 182 cup. Am I correct in saying the bolt spacing on the 182 cup is 60mm?

 

[rich-6]

I'd be interested, Ive got my cambelt as priority though so i' dbe looking about November time

yes you are. non cup is 56 mm

 

[lindleyp]

so let me get this righ because im slightly confused.
cupped 182's and non cupped 182s both need different suspension setups, so coilovers for a normal 182 will not fit onto a cupped 182?

182 cup and normal 182 need two tottally diffent coilovers....?

Correct, and a "normal" 182 which has the cup packs (suspension upgrade. Is classed as the same as a 182 cup.

 

[LiquidRich]

wonder if you could modify a set of coil overs for a 172/182 to fit a 182 cup? if its just a slight difference in hole centre I cant see it being too much of an issue.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I MIGHT be, depending on which ones and cost

Im tired of seeing all these group buys for non-cupped 182s!

 

[Sir_Dave]

What are you all actually looking for in the coilovers?

If its speed, i can guarantee that a good driver in a standard 182, would be faster round a track than a poor driver on AST's... instruction would be far more sensible.

If its feel, how can you consider the options, without trying out a few kits first (as mentioned by Warren). Some people prefer understeer at the limit, some over, some neutral, etc, etc.

If its simply looks your after, buy the cheapest available.

AST's are currently well regarded (prob as they are priciest) but people always used to w*nk over H&Rs, it is simply the latest fad.

People on here dont like GAZ, but other forums love them, maybe as they can be re-valved/sprung to your own individual requirements. Strange as it may seem, from a 'proper' (re racing) suspension perspective, AST are one of the cheaper brands when compared to the likes of Intrax, Nitron, Black Art Designs, etc.

but if they came with a differnet suspension setup, buying coloivers and takling the cup suspension package out would that put it back to a ''normal'' 182, wouldnt that change the suspension setup to somthing completley new using coilovers?

 

[ripp]

you need to take out the hub also, and fit non cup hub which has 56 mm between holes , in order to fit most coilovers out there
