172 Cup

[Chris.W]

Hi, im just looking for a bit of info. I have been to look at a cup today and the ride height looks standard but I think the springs were coloured but it wasnt low at all. Could you shine some light on this for me please. Thanks in advance, Chris.

Red = eibach sportlines
yellow = apex

 

[davM]

Probably

 

[Chris.W]

And is that standard fellas?

 

[davM]

Nope, standard are black

 

[Greeny.]

Red is also gmax which only over 25mm.

 

[Chris.W]

Oh right, i dunno whether to buy it now because I really wanted standard.

 

[davM]

They regularly come up for sale on here/ebay quite cheap

 

[Chris.W]

Do u think I should walk away? The end of the reg is NEO. Was it anyones on here? It is totally immaculate mind.

If this is webster I'm shocked you didn't come to me first. I wouldn't walk away just for that if everything else is good. Look for stone chips good indication of thrashing and a cambelt change so you don't have to pay it.

 

[Bazzon]

If its perfect id go for it, its only springs and with any luck they are eibach so are better than standard.

hi kev yeah its webster the car is mint inside and out and still has original stickers under boot carpet and original tyre foam and unused tool kit, found 2 minor chips on car i am not sure but i think the front springs were red and the back ones were yellow, should i let this put me off or not ? it has 25k on with fsh and the last 3 letters of the reg are neo, is this anyones old car off here? cheers, chris.

 

[gray-efc]

I wouldnt let it put you off at all. The only time something like that would put me off is if it was chavved up

 

[Chris.W]

Yea true. Does anyone recognise the reg NEO?

 

[Jonff]

Only 25k miles? You'll not come across many Cups with that kind of low mileage on them.

 

[W17GLE]

I don't know that car but if its immaculate in everyway and the only thing putting you off is the springs i'd say get it. If you really want it standard you could probably pick up a set of cup springs for about £30 but as said if the are eibachs they are better handling anyway and no less comfortable.

 

[Chris.W]

ok folks thanks a lot. Ive put a deposit on it.

 

[kev182cup]

Think you can handle a cup like web?.

Sounds like they are 2 different springs on front and back, but its only done 25k so I would snap their hand off mate

 

[Chris.W]

[kev182cup]

[Chris.W]
