KW coilovers

[Guy]

do they make them to fit the 182 with cup pack??
if so anyone got an opinion on them?

Nope they don't make a 182 setup (well one that will fit cup suspension pack cars). You cna modify the 172 setup by adjusting the bolt spacing but there no other option.

stuff modifying it

guess i'll just be saving longer for the LEDA's then!

 

[Guy]

everyones mentioned modifying the bolt spacing to fit the 182.

is this a case of modifying the coilover units or modifying the car?

 

[Dan@SJM]

the unit not the car!

What type of person would need to do the work? And how much would it cost?

 

[Guy]

id really appreciate it if someone could indicate on this diagram roughly where the holes would need to be..

also is there any drawbacks to doing it.. would it make anything unsafe at all?

these are LEDA coilovers though.. ive put a pic request up for some FK photos tho..

 

[Dan@SJM]

iirc the spacings are 54mm on the 172 and 58mm on the 182, so a file, and open the bolt spacing up.

 

[Guy]

that suspension shown is a 182cup fitment so that will be the 58mm.. could do with a 172 photo and then someone to mark on the photo which way the spacing needs opening up..

as the lower ones elongated anyway. ?!
