How would you get AST coilovers from a cup packed 182 to fit on a 172 cup?

Anyone care to shed some light?

Big job or..?

swap the hubs

Got a feeling ASTs have the lower hole slotted to suit the different fitments. There's definitely one setup like that, not looked at a set for a few months, anyone got a picture maybe??

I was told by pstation that the fitments were different depending on the model.

must be another brand then. dont know what it was, fitted so many different ones :S

cup packed is 60mm and non cup is 54mm IIRC, you might be right dan

As for the original question... swap hubs, or have the bottom hole machined to fit the 172 hubs.

bottom hole machined is easily and quicker..i know someone that do it and still have any problem..

(my english is bad i think:quiet::quiet::quiet::approve

PM Daz Clio Cup, he was sent 182 fitment but modified them to suit.

Get a decent motorsport garage to slot the holes. Hell of a lot easier than swapping hubs.
