Spacers with Cooksports and cup suspension.

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Yeah I look at my fronts and it look like anything more than 10mm and it will start to rub. It's sitting very low. Think ill sort out new shocks before I go down the spacer route

Got any pics, dont think I have ever seen your car mate!

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

I doubt you would get rubbing issues on 20mm on the front mate! get a picture up though so we can try and judge! , We sold some to a chap on here who was very very low on coilovers so i'm sure it would be fine on cooksports!

rear i would go with the 10mm hub spacers

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

cheers Dan. Ill get a pic up in a bit.

 

[Mr R.]

You probably want something like 20-25mm on the front and 10mm on the rear.

The fronts always need more spacing than the rears on 172s

Rons is a 182 mate.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Rons is a 182 mate.

Indeed, but a ph2 172 like ours is the same anyway. (unless his is cup packed suspension)

plus the same still applies even to a cup packed 182 or trophy for that matter, in that they need more spacing at the front.

Mine is on cooksports. I have ET35 Turinis and 10mm spacers on the front so that is almost equivalent to 20mm front and 10mm rear with standard offset. Check out my build thread for pics of how it sits (bare in mind my tyres are 205s on the rear and 195s on the front).

I would pay attention to what offset wheel you have and not so much the height.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

ok sorry to bump this and sorry its taken me so long to sort out some pics. Well here are they are. I think I might be being a little paranoid as to how low the front actually is. I had a good look at it today and I think the 25mm spacers will be ok on the front.

Mine on CookSport springs with Cup Shocks, 15mm rear hub spacers and 20mm front spacers with 1.5 degrees of camber.

Don't think yours is sitting any lower than mine Ron. That's mine with 25mm at the front and cooksport springs.

You should be ok. Works out my front offset is ET 13.5

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Cool and the gang!

Ill get some ordered.

Cheers fellas!

I'd say lets sit you three down and let you work out your differences, but it'd be like looking at a half carton of eggs.

Gone beyond a yolk this now guys.
