Well well, I've got a confession to make... Changed the rears first back to my Cooksports and decided I'd adjust by Rear ARB to give it a try on the hardest setting Went to do the fronts and started taking the front wheels off...then I realised although my nuts were tight, my actual studs were...

Drive home was hateful...'squeak, squeak, bang' Felt like a right c**k driving through town Fairly sure it's the front springs which are giving the vibration and issues, it doesn't matter anyway, they're hateful and they're coming off tonight

Rotated at a different angle to mine, at first I though mine were a lot more compressed but realised his is still on an axle stand Here's mine with wheels on the floor 100% sat in the stops/holders, but you can see there how close the coils are together!

Interesting...no issues at first? Banging, etc? Which way did you fit the rear springs...Text the right way up?

Put it this way I was genuinely concerned taking them over 60mph, although I'll have another go on the way home and see Just felt so strange, almost like an unbalanced wheel from the rear but instead of shaking/vibration more of a sort of springing/rocking sensation, I could feel it through the...

On the plus side, can't fault EuroCarParts! Sent them an email this morning saying how I thought they were unsafe, with the faults and a couple of images Had a reply half an hour later saying they'll either send a courier to pick them up, or if I drop them at my local branch, they'll give me a...

Can't see why not Dave, worst will be the postage cost (which you'll have to cover I'd of thought) I'd be interested to know how others finding, so if it's not too much effort chuck them on! Haha, I'm afraid the Cooksports are staying, even if I do get B14's - probably end up selling the...

The only reasons I went for these was that I wanted something a bit lower, and I thought if I could put up with the extra harshness/stiffness that they have apparently, I'd run them for a couple of weeks and see what I thought Nothing wrong with my Cooksports at all, infact they are fantastic...

I seriously rate Cooksports, just a shame they don't give that much lows - but they're a decent height actually, practical and looks half alright Can't compare them to Apex (only these rubbish things), but I can see me just going the Coilover route Tbh I bought these hoping they were Apex, but...

Have you bought some? I genuinely think that they would improve with bedding in, but how long that would take I don't know And the instability is a bit strange, almost like its bouncing ever so slightly on the rear springs and I can feel it through my pedals and steering wheel - not even like...

No worries, I'd hate for someone to have to pay a garage to fit them and then pay again to have to change them I'm lucky enough to be able to do it myself, and just a case of wasting a few hours

So 20 miles done and the verdict is...Don't fit them! Country Roads - harsh (although bearable admiditely) and banging/knocking on the back over certain bumps and rises Main Road - feel horribly unstable, at 60mph I was almost getting some sort of spring resonance (from the rear it seems)...

I'm sure the 60mm drop isn't for the RS range...

Don't blame you haha If they still knock tomorrow, I'll ask ECP for a refund and state they're faulty I am quite tempted to try some Apex springs though, the height of them looks absolutely spot on! Or I go for the full works and get some Bilstein B14's...but my only concern is that they...

Can you give us a rough price Dan?

I've also done it, easily done...but you do feel a bit of a tit afterwards!

Also interested in this!

And in comparison, these are all on Apex Springs I grabbed off Google : Virtually no arch gap at all! If you look at mine on the rear in comparison there's a huge difference....and I can't see it settling that much (especially as I can see me taking them off in 24 hours)

Right, looks like I'm the Guniea Pig! All fitted and......not impressed lol Not as low as I'd hoped, fairly sure Apex gives more of a drop from photos I've seen? Guess they may settle a bit Disappointingly I think my Cooksports give the same drop, but then they have had plenty of time to...

Cheers buddy! I've actually got a spare plain plate just never got around to fitting it, but now you've reminded me I'll get it on this weekend! I thought it was you, all I saw was a LY 182 and I thought there's every chance it was! Yours did look good buddy, only literally saw it as I pulled...

When you hoping to fit them Dave?

Mine should be coming today hopefully, might get them fitted tonight if I get a chance

How come Dave? Don't they fit with standard shocks and top mounts?

Well I've ordered some, thought why not at that price - curious to know how they'll compare to my Cooksports (which some say are the best spring out there) So yeh, expect a bit of a write up along with some photos by next week hopefully

Are they 15's or 16's Scott? @Phase1sr

Cheers buddy, was getting far too complicated for my to think about haha

Drop me a message with the details on the 172, I have a mate who's after a Clio - and it might just fit the criteria!

Just seen this thread, epic! Love the speedo video, looks awesome with the short ratios and flywheel When you hoping to get it all mapped?

Really interested to see your results, so keep us informed! Only one I've really got : https://flic.kr/p/v31caF Car has changed quite a lot since then! Took that video ages ago, only went up to 5k (you can hear it just come onto 5k before it opens out) as my dog was being a pain lol, so at 7k...
