shock absorbers 172 ff vs cup

[bigdirtyturbo]

looking to refresh my suspension, currently std shocks with eibach springs. searched on here and it seems I can put the slightly updated 172 cup shocks on my non cup 172.. can anybody with experience confirm? as I see in a couple of threads people also say they don't??
which is it, a yes or a no?
thanks guys

I think you would need different hubs as well as the camber etc would be wrong. I could be wrong though.

also no such thing as a 172 ff!

Yes you can upgrade standard 172 dampers with 172 cup dampers without issue, I've done it myself as have lots of others.
The Fatty is confusing 172s with standard 182 and cup 182s.

Put them on but you won't get warranty if cars non cup . I already had shockie go this year abd it only done 15k .

In internet speak, ff means cup packed... So ff suspension would mean cup suspension. Which would be the same thing.

And 172s weren't available with the cup packs, there was only the 172 and the 172 cup.

Warrenty, on a 172? Which they stopped selling in 2003?

Warranty on the Renault part .. If you're fitting genuine " some people " shakes head

You want 172 cup front shocks and 182 cup rear shocks.

A search should bring that up.

No problem fitting 172 cup shock absorbers to a non-cup 172.
