172 H&R coilovers

[ForceIndia]

Has anyone driven a Trophy and a H&R'd 172? How'd they compare? Currently trying to decide wether to get rid of the 172 for a Trophy, or just go H&R route (I'd miss monaco). Any experience/opinions. As the 172 stands now, have trendlines, uprated pads/discs.

Anybody?

If the 172 H&R's feel like the 182 ones you will be pleased.

I much preferred the H&R'd 182 I drove over the Trophy.

Elaborate? Better ride, body control?

far more planted than standard 172 set up, better ride height, still fairly comfortable, more grip etc. Not driven a trophy so I can't compare really!

Hows turn-in compared to standard?

Horses for courses...

H&R's are height adjustable where the Sachs are not.
The Sachs are damper adjustable if you know what you're doing where the H&R's are not.
That's not to say that the H&Rs are really only ideal for lowering because they are far from it.

Difficult really, I've only really driven them both on the road and I can't even decide tbh.

Either way, I don't regret having H&R coilovers on my Cup and 172 Mk1 before that.

Elaborate? Better ride, body control?

Better dampened, less harsh ride far less crashy over bumps. Felt much more composed.

Honestly, not worried about ride height at all. Just about handling an ride.

Then save some cash.

Monoco Blue 172 with H&R's FTW!!11

Ask this ? on CT as many have come from 172's & 182's.

I have the opposite dilema, what to swap the trophy for

The Trophy on wet roads is awesome, i live surrounded by some excellent b roads to test on
