sport to cup suspension

[dudleydave83]

hi there, i have a phase 2 172 sport, i want to change to cup suspension as binning my coliovers. what do i need? hubs, lower arms, shocks an springs? is it an easy change? i want to find someone selling a complete kit, what would be a good price? thanks in advance

Just 172 cup shocks and springs

If you want extra caster then the arms as well

Hubs are the same

I've got a set of 172 Cup front suspension, PM me if you're interested

i was told hubs as well, that is a bonus. as i new to the clio scene, the caster is for the wheels to sit slightly wider? think mine are wrong already as both front wheels sit deep inside the arch.

Also, the rear i will just have to put springs in and adjust torsion bar or are they shocks.

Rear is shocks and springs but separate from each other.

ok, cool. so jus shocks an springs all round from a 172 cup will fit straight on and change lower arms

 

[Ph1 Tom]

The caster is how far forwards or backwards the wheel is. I.E the closer to the front bumper the more caster

All you need is shocks and springs.

so no hubs etc. sweet, should be cheaper. what makes the wheels sit further out as i think something has be replaced on the front end and the wheels sit deep inside the front wings. been told could have wrong lower arms or some thing like that. thanks for your help so far guys

Easiest way to give your car a wider track is to fit spacers.

Isn't the bolt spacing on the front shocks different?

Nope that's only 182 cups that have the different bolt spacing.
