these are the only ones i can find, cant seem to find 182 version? do spax make them?
want the front dampers to match my rears, as previous owner only put spax on the rears for sum reason.
if any1 can help cheers

No, as the 172 has different bolt spacings to a 182 with Cup suspension.

 

[Bazzon]

IIRC, his car is un cupped, so should be fine.

 

[Da]

Oh, says FF in his profile so I took that as 'Cupped'

 

[Bazzon]

FF means nothing though cos everyone uses it to describe there 182s

 

[Da]

Very true

Wait till DrRollo sees this

<<< sorted

so non cup'd 182 2004, would they fit? or do they make 182 ones? coz i cant find them? and is it worth it at 150 quid each so 300+ just for dampers?

(standard dampers with apex springs at the front at the mo and spax dampers and apex springs at the rear)

 

[Da]

Yeah if you don't have the 182 cup suspension then any 172 front shocks will fit.

£150 each is pricey though. Personally I'd buy all new OE shocks from Renault and fit a set of Eibach Sportlines. Sell the Apex and the rear Spax.

Should only set you back £200 - £300 all in.

 

[Bazzon]

Agreed with DA, very expensive. Id go OE + sportlines or KTR coilovers

 

[Scunny_182]

ktr coilovers are about 400ish? standard shocks are about 50ish quid each?
sportlines would raise my ride tho n i love the height at the mo

 

[Bazzon]

It will raise it slightly yes, but it will improve the ride.

 

[Scunny_182]

mmmm.... something i was looking at, another option i guess. i know alot of ppl on here run standard shocks n sportlines. this set up or coilovers? never gunna go on a track so...

 

[Bazzon]

Well, My bothers old 172 had sportlines and standard shocks, the ride was so much smoother than my cupped 182. Ive never been in a uncupped 182, but it can not be much different to a 172.

 

[Da]

Same everything really, just a slightly wider track I believe.

 

[Scunny_182]

cool, so will make the ride better too

 

[Scunny_182]

could the reason y its crashes n bounces around be that the shocks has gone at the front?
