How to check for Cup Suspension?

[edryn80]

Hiya,
Got my 182FF the other day, it was advertised with both Cup Packs, it's rather obviousl got the wing etc. but how can I tell if it has the Cup suspension? Is it even any different?

Car seems to have a lot of roll compared to my previous cars which is rather un-nerving as I turn in to fast bends, seems to lurch around.

I will probably get used to it as I can't really be bothered getting coil-overs, mostly as the missus seems to not see speed bumps, living in East London, its a problem...

if it has that cup pack, it consists of cup suspension and the anthracite wheels...

do you have the anthracite wheels? If so then it's likely you'll have the suspension too!

btw I'm still new here but think I've picked that bit up right :rasp:

Having anthracite wheels doesn't necessarily mean it has the cup suspension, to be sure you need to measure the hub spacing.

As said aboe the only definite way I know of is bolt spacing. Where the suspension bolts to the hub the spacing between the bolts is 60mm on cup packed cars and 54mm on non cup packed cars iirc. Do a search and there are some pics showing this. It should also have anthracite wheels unless they have been changed but obviously anthracite wheels may have been added to a non cup packed car.

so is the cup pack suspention uprated shox and lower srings?

Measure the front lower strut bolt spacing if its 60mm then its got cup suspension.
