help needed to find out if i have cup packs

[klm182]

i no its a boring topic but i need help,
i took my 182 ages ago to renault dealership for work done i asked if the car had cup pack fitted they said no.
trying to upgrade or replace suspension. i no cup spacing is 60 not cup 54.
i was told my car has not got cup rear spoiler,(has no splitter) sure mine has rear cup spoiler as break light is big.
i looked at rear springs red n while marks,front has blue and yellow on one side cant find any colours on the other.
i took it tyre place and they took wheel off i measureed from bolt head centre to centre was 60mm.
i went scrap yard to measure a 172 that was 54mm and a clio 02 1.2 was about 60mm
the dealership said it aint got cup pacs on it and i called a garage who serviced it b4 i owned it said not got cup packs on it.
i dont wanna order wrong dampers or coilvers

call Adam on 01902439264 he'll tell you what you have

infact does your chassis number start VF1CB22?

 

[Siddle]

^ Fred's right. Call Adam.

he's a wizard.

 

[klm182]

yes it starts with the number you said(how did you no that)

 

[klm182]

do cup packs have to have different track rod ends fitted?has kwik fit fitted a standard euro part one to mine when i bought the car.every renault dealership should have a data base to find out this stuff its a joke

 

[Fred@BTM]

because all 182's with cup suspension (i think) start with that

 

[klm182]

thanks,i guess cracking the de vinci code is easier than finding out if u have cup packs dont no y renault make it so hard,

Mine does too and its cup packed.

You don't need the cup spoiler or other bits to have cup suspension.

As Fred says with the chassis number, yours has cup suspension.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

My 182 has both cup packs and I just checked my chassis number it also starts with this number.... Someone with a non cup packed 182 could possibly clear this up for you if they can supply their chassis number and it be different to this one.....

Fred has already said that chassis number has cup packs, what's to clear up?

A Renaultsport specialist working at a renault dealer?

News to me, every "specialist" at a dealer I've dealt with was indeed very special!

 

[klm182]

i no the spoiler pack is different as its bigger rear and a splitter,again i was told mine aint gor cup spoiler,i looked on here and it has someone put 2 pictures up. renault said i didnt

 

[klm182]

they also said dont listern to people on here,as they the ones that know

Just measure the bolt spacing to be safe.

The people at Renault dealers are absolute mongs.

 

[klm182]

i did its 60 mm(from middle of bolt to bolt) also measured a 172 that was 54mm to do a comparison

Yupppp, when I got mine (with a warranty), took it up to Fred's for various stuff, he found the usual rocker cover leak - Dealers tried to make out it was an "oil cannister", they still replaced that FOC £200 ish, and I vowed to never use Renault dealers again

 

[klm182]

thanks to you all i no i cant buy coilers now so i guess its yellow konis and proline springs maybe solid mounts,its got a leaky damper (front)and a mis matched made in japan one on the rear.its rolls alot round bends

Cant fault that statement tbqh.

I found out after buying my car that it had cup suspension but not the spoiler pack. I've subsequently bought a splitter and cup spoiler to complete the look
