Part Numbers needed! Useless Stealers

[stu-172]

Right, I have a 02 172 FF and need to replace the shocks! Want to put the cup shocks in, but apparently they need a chasis number so they can find the part number? Anyone know the part numbers for these?

Cheers, Stuart

Thanks Fred, would the trophy shocks fit? Just a thought! LOL! They're prob a bit 2 expensive!

Anyone know if trophy shocks will fit?

Rears will fit.
Fronts will fir but not work setups all wrong plus there much more pricy (£k list prie or something each)

But the cup shocks will def fit?

Or would I be better with koni's or somethin else?

Cheers,

Stu

Aren't the cup shocks different bolt spacing or is that just with the 182? Any benefit using the cup shocks?

So the whole hub's different? Cos any after market supplier of shocks lists the same shocks for 172/cup?

I woulnd't bother with Koni personaly. Cups shock will fit though yep.

You have to spend a lot to beat the stock setup IMO.

Hubs are the same your thinking about the 182.

172 and 172 cup can interchnage the suepsnion parts.

Has anyone actually noticed a difference going onto the cup shocks? Didnt think they were much stiffer?

I'm running adjustable Koni's with -30mm springs alround. Left em on the soft setting at present and handles a treat, especially as the roads can be abit bumpy round Notts. Come with lifetime warranty too.

cant see cup dampers been that much different to warrent changing them from good standard dampers, but if yours are gone then might as well change them for cup items.

what was the difference between the 2?

No much different at all.

People "see" he difference when there comparing worn full fat to new Cup shoes but tht not a fair comparison.
