Mark Fish and Eibach Springs?

[Gally]

Similar drop?

The reason I ask is i've seen Mat's Trophy on 2118s i've always love the wheels anyway but worried about the 15s looking under-wheeled with just springs.

 

[Flat Eric]

Is that just springs in pic above? Looks fine.
I want 2118s too but don't think the sportlines give enough drop to suit it well

 

[Tim.]

I thought his number plate said t**t at first glance, lol.

I believe Mark Fish springs lower the ride height a lot more than the Sportlines I use. Maybe pick up some Sportlines 2nd hand, try them then if you're not happy move them on and go down the MF route?

 

[Gally]

I have Eibachs, Mat had MF springs. Hmmm!

Hmmm swap some Turinis for 2118s.

 

[Scrooge]

Lol at that number plate, car looks good!

ive heard from a few people that mark fish is better from what they've had on the car.

 

[Jakey92]

Anyone know how much the Mark Fish springs are? Just for future reference

 

[Gally]

Quick google should tell you.

 

[Hixle]

I bloody loved that Trophy. Was one of the reasons I bought mine!

 

[Gally]

Hmmmm I fancy those wheels I must say!

This is our ph2 on eibachs and 15" rims:

 

[Gally]

Any still shots mate, kinda hard to tell under load. Do you remember how it sat?

 

[Chip-mk1]

I think that it looks very slightly front high, I didnt get any shots but am hope this weekend so will get some.

Im taking the springs off in the next week or two to try some cooksport ones which are another option you could try as they seem to sit the front a touch lower.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Found this one james took showing the front, excuse the state of the front wheel I had just done a bit of grasstracking in it, lol

Sadly it only shows the front though!

 

[Sir_Dave]

15s & Sportlines.

Different Trophy, same location lol.

 

[Chip-mk1]

15s & Sportlines.

That looks how I remember ours looking, just very slightly too high at the front IMHO

 

[Gally]

Just a ballhair but it sits a ballhair high at the front on the turinis anyway. Oh decisions. Would probably be a swap anyway.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Lesley is going to go and get a pic of ours she said, its her day off today.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Its a shame that apex are crashy, this is mine on apex rears and coilover fronts, but apex springs alone sit at a similar height at the front, so it would look the same just not drive nicely:

 

[Mr Trailer Man]

Why you worried about arch gap? You had a Puma! :rasp:

 

[Chip-mk1]

Flol, pumas and defenders have the same gaps IIRC

 

[lesley]

 

[Chip-mk1]

Such a shame it doesnt just sit 10mm lower at the front, would be perfect then.


Hopefully the cooksport springs will help it!

 

[Gally]

Thanks very much Lesley, much appreciated.

That certainly doesn't look bad to me. I always heard Apex on most cars are much lower but in no way refined. I prefer Eibachs on any car, always trustworthy imo.

 

[Mr Trailer Man]

The Cooksport springs are great.

Fitted a set on the weekend to my mates car, really do sit well.

Im sure Lesley wont mind posting you up her Eibachs to try in a week or two when I have swapped them over?

 

[lesley]

no worries

just wish it was slightly lower at the front. Will post pics when we've got the cooksport ones on soon

 

[Gally]

I was stupid and didn't make it clear in the OP that I run Eibachs just now.

Would just be a wheel change in my case.

 

[Chip-mk1]

FFS

Lol

Just borrow some 15s off a local member then?

 

[Gally]

I don't need to now i've got pics. Just need 2118s!

 

[Martin.]

That does look bloody lovely in the first post!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Whats the appeal of going to 15" rims Gally?

you going to be out in it at FCS on track?

 

[aucky]

So you don't want any more Mark Fish & 15's pics?

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Hmmm swap some Turinis for 2118s.

Dont get 2118's, its probs just me but I just dont like them.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Hideous wheels IMO. Swapping Turinis for them would be mental.

 

[sonny172cup]

That car looks impressive, love it.

I think you misunderstand I would only consider 2118s. For looks mostly as always. I think they are a stunning wheel.

So you don't want any more Mark Fish & 15's pics?

Lols not unless they are 2118s. Eibachs on a Trophy with 2118s would be perfect if someone can find a picture.

Mine should be back tomorrow can try and get a pic over the weekend will have sportlines fitted so will see how it looks

 

[Gally]

You're the man! You keeping the 2118s Gold mate? You know I think you're crazy!

Ye there too immaculate to paint just yet

 

[T.Trophy]

I think Trophys look great on 2118's, I've got them on mine with mark fish springs. No pics though as its still at the fabricators
