Trophy sachs shocks onto 172 cup?

[edbar]

Hey guys, im new to the forum and relatively new to clios....
Im buying a 172 cup in a month or so and my brother has offered to give me his spare set of sachs 182 trophy dampers from his car which need a rebuild.
What is required to make them fit? What springs to use for fast road/ trackday?
Any help appreciated.

It will need new hubs at a minimum.

Is that to do with the shock bolt spacing?

Yes

How much can you get hubs for? Dont trophy's have different top mounts?
Sorry for the questions im a total noob!

I have a pair of 182 cup hubs for sale mate, but you will have to become a club member to see it!

I dont have a cup yet but im just trying to work out the cost and whats involved to convert it. How much are the hubs?

 

[PBCup]

Just buy a trophy then. It will be far cheaper overall with the bonus that its the real thing.

Im not bothered about having a real trophy, my brother has one and im getting the shocks for free, thats why im trying to do a costing on the conversion. Also i get greater pleasure from building cars than buying them already done.

182 cup/trophy hubs - bolt them on - job done

 

[edbar]

And use something like eibach springs and solid topmounts?
Really apreciate the info btw!

 

[Cup_Phil]

Any springs and top mounts would fit - If you've got a bit of budget google pure motorsport - they do solid top mounts and strut braces that work really well

Would the trophy hubs still use the 172 cup driveshafts? Or are they different

 

[edbar]

Will have a look at those mounts!
Do they run different shafts?

 

[simonsays74]

Are the hubs thicker or thinner where the shock mounts?

AFAIK.. 182 cup hubs have different drive shafts over 182 non cup. And also different inner track rods. Not sure how that all compares to a 172 cup.

It's all doable I am sure.. But then so are top end coilovers. With non of the agro.

And 1/2 The Price If Buying New.
