Turning a non cup into a cup....

[Williams182]

Sorry if this has been covered a hundred times......

i have a non cup 182, don't want to spend circa £1000 on coilovers, so looking to get cup dampers.
I've heard the 172 cup dampers are a direct fit? then grab cook sport springs?
its only for road use and maybe the odd Brandshatch blast.....

how do I get mine to full 182 handling pack? Like wider track etc or is this a big time wasting task??

maybe just the 172 dampers, cook sports and spacers??

and advice or links to anything I will be very grateful

Just fit the 172 cup dampers. The whole cup pack change is a lot of expense for literally no gain.

Awesome! What about springs? Eibach, cooksport or any body else?

thanks!

Cooksport or eibach.

As said. Cup Dampers and Springs and good Geo setup that's all you really need on these cars. Spending that much on Coilovers is overkill unless your on track all the time.

Would I need 172 cup rear shocks or would 182 cup rears fit? I know I'll need 172 fronts because of the hole spacings.
Thanks
