172 CUP lowering springs

[duncansharp]

Hi just after some advice please, please,please

I am considering lowering my 172 CUP, I am happy with the handling and not really looking to improve upon this too much, but I would really like to lower my car as it look a bit too high. However I know many of you will say get H&R coilovers, but I REALLY cannot afford these, so I was wondering which lowering springs you people would recommend. I have heard good things about Prolines but the drop is really small so don't think it would look much different. Also I don't want to fit any that will be detrimental to the handling or too harsh a ride. Would Sportlines be appropriate?

Please can I have your advice

Thankyou

Duncan

eibach springs i think are the best bet from what i have read. you can go for koni shocks and eibach springs. or just get springs. lowers front by 25mm and rear 15mm. http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=849

I think sportlines will fit the bill perfectly . I had the prolines and they were fantastic, but didnt touch the rears height wise (front dropped 10-15mm mind) Apex would ruin the car imo

Ok cheers, can get some Sportlines for £126 from Roadrunner in Notts so might have to go for them, the Prolines sound good and very popular but wanting a bit more of a drop i.e. approx 30-40mm
