172 Springs

[Hayter]

This may be a stupid question but here goes
Are 172 cup springs stiffer than standard springs ? im looking to stiffen up my 172 cos it rolls like a b**ch when going round corners and i cant afford to lower it atm due to insurance and lack of funds is there anyway i can make the ride of my car better by putting stiffer springs on or shorter springs on my standard shocks ??
p.s im new to this modding world so go easy on me
cheers

Eibach pro springs ? They don't lower and iirc are black so near enough factory look plus Eibach have always had a good reputation on the Clio scene

Eibach Proline's will lower it slightly and stiffen it up a little.

Eibach Sportline's will lower it just a bit more than the Proline's.

Eibachs will have to be declared though, whereas no one would notice cup springs.
Yes they are lower and stiffer, though nothing too noticable! 3mm I think! might look lower than a cup though from the extra weight of the normal 172

If its just being "noticeable" to your insurer you're concerned with then buy the eibach sportlines and spray them black. No?

I seriously doubt any insurer would notice the small difference in ride height. If it doesn't look MAX POWER it will just be viewed as "the 2 litre clio sport, the suped-up one" to any assessor in the unfortunate event of any misshaps.

But, In the eyes of the law you would be illegal, but then I think you would be with the cup springs too......Just fit eibach's!
