Cup shocks, are they the same as the normal 172/182

[jester2k]

As usual the rear shock is leaking. Second Clio, second car.. I thought it felt a bit odd on some bends.

Is this a standard 172/182 shock, or a special cup shock?

Cheers

182 or 172?

he means are they the same as a standard clio 172/182 or different for the cups

I'd quite like to know as well. I believe the springs on the 172 ph2 cup are different to the FF but not sure about the dampers?

Also - anyone know any comments on whether upgraded springs (Eibach) will make a difference to the cup isn't it's already slightly lowered versus the FF.

I replaced my rear shocks few years back, I'm pretty sure there are no differences between 172 and 172 CUP rear shocks, just the front shocks that are stiffer on the CUP iirc!

No idea about the 182.

to be clear, i have a cup, are the dampers the same on the cup/1*2 FF's or different.?
