Don't think you can unless you change the fron hubs.

That's where the problem lies with the front strut's, the bolt won't fit through the new cup shock's !!!

Have to get it machined out mate, think there is a 2mm difference.

Only thing is, do you get the top or bottom hole machined in order to keep it to the same dimensions as a true cup setup.

Just change the springs, easier.

Now that i've compared the shock's it look's like there's no difference i think i might aswell take the cup shock's out of the rear and replace them with my standard one's. Are the shock's the same on the cup as they are on the standard 182 ????

I'd keep the spare rears as they are prone to going so will make it easier when they do.

I would be surprised if the shocks are any different to be honest, I didnt notice hardly any difference between a cup's and non cup'd 182, which i would put down to the slightly (literally 2mm) lower height.

Me too mate they look identical i'm taking the rear cup shock's out and putting my standard one's back in, yeah they will go into my collection of spare's lol.
