Suspension ideas £600 budget

[Elliot182]

I own a 182 cup packs 05 plate

looking at refreshing my suspension, new shocks and eibach springs

Or do I go sach dampers (if budget allows) with eibach springs

any bushes and parts need replacing? Cars done 48000 miles

comments appreciated

cheers

Secondhand set of bilsteins or H&R and get them checked over for that budget I reckon.

Or just go for eibach/cooksport springs, and new cup dampers.
You'll do that for about 300 ish
Then you have a few hundred to spend on new track rods, track rod ends, steering rack bushes and strut top mounts.

Will drive like brand new then (well slightly better in fact!)



Edit: Sorry mate, reading fail, didnt see you say 182 cup packed, I was offering advice for a normal 172.

Whereabouts will I get all those bits from?

Guessing shocks on ktec website are good as they are oem

As per my edit mate, apologies but I was talking about a 172.

For a cup packed 182, I think your idea of sachs dampers is a great way to go.

Just noticed your edit,

What do you reckon for the car I've got or can I still do eibachs and new cup shocks all around?

edit: just seen your reply, are sach dampers much better? If so whereabouts do I get them new?
