Leaky Back Shock. Any Advice on Upgrade??

[Nathanwilliams772]

I Have a 182 Cup with standard shocks and springs all round if that makes a differance.

I have just found out that i have a leaky back shock which obviously needs replacing so wondering if there is any better out there than the standard renault cup shocks??

Standard one are good as they are, and only about £50 each.

there's always 2 sellers on ebay who do cup ones for £85-88 delivered, for a pair.

The standard shocks on the 182 are very good. Perfectly adequate for road use and even on track really.... If you really want to upgrade them, koni yellows are a favourite.

I've been wondering the same thing. No visible leakage on mine but I feel the rear may need replacing and not really got the funds for a good set of coilovers at the moment so trying to figure out if I should go for stock or up-rate (I have sportlines if that matters).
As I gather the Cup dampers are stiffer than the non-Cup? Is it possible to fit non-Cup ones? I ask so I don't accidentally fit the wrong ones

Well I ended up buying the standard cup suspension and I think it was 84 quid off a renault dealer with an eBay store.
