wade Posted 24, November 2013 Report Share Posted 24, November 2013 Depends how much cash you want to spend I have Bilstein B14's but they probably aren't really suited to serious track work, I can definitely feel their limits I would probably go the KTech ones developed for the 182 cup race series in the UK For basic track work I would also get: Camber pins Rear sway bar Competition engine mounts Solid top mounts Braided brake lines Decent pads (ds2500 or Padgids) Uprated brake fluid Obviously a set of lighter rims and semis .....

camsmyth Posted 24, November 2013 Report Share Posted 24, November 2013 AST's! Run them on my 1.10 wakefield 182. Get them setup correctly and also get sticky rubber and next would be a diff! Try to remove some weight for free performance. Seats and harness are also nice. Unless you are going to town I would not spend anything at all on the engine except for maybe a remap.

Homerlovesbeer Posted 24, November 2013 Report Share Posted 24, November 2013 KW's or H&R makes some very nice coilovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camsmyth Posted 24, November 2013 Report Share Posted 24, November 2013 Do they have AST's for 172's?1 I'm pretty sure they run on anything including cups..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielG Posted 24, November 2013 Report Share Posted 24, November 2013 Do they have AST's for 172's?1 Pretty sure, they're just a bit on the pricey side. Haven't looked lately, but it would be somewhere around the $2.3k mark landed (more if you get slugged with GST etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
