Model confusion

[biglum]

Hi guys, wonder if anyone has the answer - probably be asked a hundred times and I thought I'd already worked it out till today.

Got my silver '55 plate 182 as a cat C so no paperwork. It had half leather, aircon and cruise control but also anthracite cup alloys. I thought from reading the forum it was a 182 with the wheels changed.
Today I was checking the front strut (which are bilstiens) hole pitch to order AST suspension, again the forum guide tells the correct pitch for a 182. But mine measures 60mm?? The drivers door pillar says Renaultsport 182 CB22. It had goodridge hoses and an Orbisoud exhaust when I got it, can I assume the previous owner has changed the front hubs or is it standard??

confused.

If 60mm is the cup size, it means it has cup packs, why would you think any different?

60mm is correct for a suspension cup packed 182 54mm is non cup suspension packed, but IIRC there was 2 packs for the 182, one was wheels & suspension and other was spoilers?

Could explain why you dont have the cup spoiler?

Why do you want to swap from bilstein to ast?

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

You have a 182 with 'cup pack' and if you have the 'bigger' spoiler then you also have the other 'cup pack'

Many thanks!! Now I know, it had the cup pack suspension but not the spoiler.

I want to swap to coilovers for the track.

Cheers,

Calum.
