will h&r coilovers that were on a cup fit a standard 182?

[tonaz]

seen some for sale and they were on a cup and i just wanted to check, cheers!

 

[fmp_]

dont think they will.

182 cup suspension only fits a 182 cup.

non cup fits 182 and 172!

correct me someone if i have that wrong tho!

 

[jayxx83]

think he means h&r on 172cup, will it fit 182 with non cup packs

 

[tonaz]

anyone?

 

[izibizi]

172 cup fits 182 regular

 

[tonaz]

they are off a 182 cup and for a 182 so they won't go aye

 

[davM]

eh?

So the kit for the 182 fits 172's but not 182 cups?

 

[Beef-Mc]

182 cups have different bolt spacing for some reason.

 

[davM]

Ah right. So what about 172cups? Will 182 without cup packs H&R's fit a 172 cup?

 

[jayxx83]

^^^ I think so.

 

[Daz_RT_04]

lol what a mess

 

[mattjk]

Indeed ^ they wont fit without modification but you can bodge them in.

they should do as they have got the same hubs and the bolt spacing is the same

 

[Cro]

Do the 182s not have a different angle of strut from the 172s making them not fittable?

 

[bmh.01]

Cupped 182 is 60mm lower bolt spacing.
Non Cupped 182/172/172 Cup are 54mm lower bolt spacing.

Fvck knows why :S.

 

[davM]

Hmm i see. So what sort of modification would it need?

 

[mattjk]

Drilling/grinding to make the bolts on the shock fit into the hub. Like I said a bodge but it would probably be okay.

Something like that mate. I have a non cup 182 and have tried to have Konis fitted by 2 different tuners and both have said they dont fit.... But K tec say they do??

Drilling/grinding to make the bolts on the shock fit into the hub. Like I said a bodge but it would probably be okay.

All that would be needed is to make one of the holes elongated so the shock could sit at a more camber friendly position for the 182..non cup

 

[rwaterman]

Have a look at www.koni.uk.com they list shocks for the clio 3 RS 05-08 maybe these will fit the 182, dont know??
