Non cup to cup 182

[Stressed Dogg]

hi all
I'm new to Clio ownership but I bite the bullet and bought what I believed to be a 182 cup (well that's what previous owner said )
The previous owner said that when he bought it the car was very low so changed the suspension and wheels the wheels are 172
He was mid 50s
Now I have been looking for a set of coilovers as I intend to do a lot of track days I saw from the forum that it should have 60 mm between the two hub bolts
This one has 54mm now I have a set of cup hubs I got local for £50 to use when I get my coilovers
My question is do I need anything else or will it bolt up
I have searched this forum for answers but doesn't really answer what I want

Cheers Jake

If you are going get coilovers, you may as well get the best!

TBH, you may as well stick with the 54mm hubs.

But as I have the hubs will they bolt straight on?

Agreed in buying the best as your only buy once

The wishbones, subframe, ball joints, steering rack & track rod ends are all the same, though you will have to get the alignment done, as the steering arms on the 60mm hubs are slightly different.

The question I cannot answer is will you need to change the driveshafts?

What width are the ABS rings on the shafts you have, 7.5 or 15mm?

@bloke is the CV expert.

When I picked up the hubs he gave me a set of new rings for a cup unsure of the width
Thanks for replying though

i hate cv joints!!!!

I know, but please tell the man if he can run a 60mm hub without changing the shaft!

 

[bloke]
