172 springs on dynamique?

[Pep]

will the standard 172 springs fit on my 1.2 16v?!

i know the poundage rates will be different but will they phsically fit in the shocks and on the rear beam?

are they lower than the 1.2's?

It has been done on a 1.6 so I don't see whay not on a 1.2.

 

[Pep]

do you knwo if they are lower than the standard ones?

will it amke the handling better or will the difference in spring rates make it worse?

 

[DrR]

Don't do it.

 

[Pep]

Don't do it.

i worked that one out, but as asked what are the effects on the car if they are fitted?

bump?

PM MikeyDee. He used Cup springs but they won't vary that much from FF stuff.

Don't bother yes they will fit as for height doens't matter won't realy lower the car and spring rates are all wrong.

 

[Pep]

will it not improve the handling, ie be stiffer for the body?

thanks for the reply edde.

len i remember pm'ing somone on here about them on their car and they said the handling was much improved and the car sat slightly lower but i thought i'd get a general view on it.
plus the 1.6 has a heavier engine etc and uprated suspension over the 1.2 so im guessing they may be a closer match to the 1.6?
