If the Apex are cheap then give them a go, springs are easy to change yourself. If you dont like them then change them again to something else.
If you haven't done this job before allow 5 hours to change 4 springs, 2nd. time round you'll be doing them in 2 hours.
The ride height with Pro's on your Cup is exactly the same as mine, so they are the right ones and the right part no. If you had OE or Apex springs before then you would be having problems with an aching back or you fillings woud have fell out.
I found a straight change to Eibach pros to be a bit better on handling and lot better on ride comfort, less roly poly on fast corners as well. They don't lower by much, 10mm. at the front and nowt on the rear as my oe's were sagging anyway. Didn't change the shocks at all, still on oe's. I...
Another track day completed, the recently fitted Proline springs have done their job well and reduced body roll on the corners. Clever those Eibach springs, giving more comfort driving on normal roads but stiffening up the car when cornering on track. As it goes now I can't see the need for...
The ovearall tyre circumference will be quite a bit more than your standard 195/45/16 so speedo readings will be well out, as for rubbing on the wheel arches and shocks you will only know when you fit them.
I also use 195/50 15' for the track and well pleased with them.
Over £3k will get you a good un, but finding one as good as you seem to want will take some time and travelling. Silver? nothing wrong with that, and a bit rarer. Good luck with your search.
Now that's not right, the wheel and weight of the car should rest on the hub, in this case the plastic spacer. The wheel bolts are only there to hold the wheel to the brake disc/hub not to take the weight of the car.
Leave your service book on the passenger seat as a reminder to the tech. Mine always got stamped without asking, on different cars and different garages.
Hope you changed the brake fluid as well. There are plenty of suggested upgrades listed on this forum, all are favourable with Cliosport members so you can't go wrong with what has already been mentioned. Taking a big leap in braking performance will cost though, such as 4pot drake calipers.
I have a set of these as well, i assumed they are replicas because of the 2 size hub fitting. The adaptors with mine are plastic which I don't like the idea of. Are alloy adaptors available?
