We wanna go lower you see...

Don't want to loose the ride quality from springs that are not progressive.

[fUbAr]

umm... sorry just realised you arent a "fella" tomboy... sorry Heh

 

[fUbAr]

oh and Dave, you sure they're Sportlines?

My Pro's look lower! lol

 

[172 Dave]

DOH DOH DOH DOH DOH off to spank meself cough "Pros!" ;(

 

[fUbAr]

Heh, thought as much

anyone else?

 

[Rick]

I was thinking about posting exactly the same question as I'm also on Pro's at the moment but fancy the car a little lower with resorting to coilovers again. Have you thought about the H+R springs Fubar?

 

[fUbAr]

im having second thoughts on the Sportlines, as they dont seem to lower the car much more than my Pro's.

I also dont want to sacrifice the handling... the pro's are great springs due to their progressive nature, as are the sportlines

what are H&R springs like?

 

[The Big Yin]

H&R are progressive springs and i have them on my clio they are only in a 30mm drop and according to the box mines fit a 172. I think they will not offer you any more of a drop than your current ones

 

[David_Snaresbrook]

*hijack*

Tomboy, what seats are they in your cup, and how much/where from.

They look like the sort of thing i want to get for mine.

 

[Rick]

what are H&R springs like?

Errmm, I don't really know! I understand they are progressively wound like the Eibach's. There don't seem to be many people on here with them, I think most are put off by the price and go for Apex etc instead. They do a set of springs that lower by 30mm I believe

 

[fUbAr]

the sportlines are supposed to be -45 Front and -30 Rear...

but judging by the pics they're clearly not too different from the Pro's.

 

[Rick]

I remember seeing some pics of Yozza's cup when he had Sportlines on and I seem to remember that looking significantly lower than standard. Not crazy low, but certainly noticeable.

 

[fUbAr]

hmm.... i need more evidence! Heh

 

[Loopz]

i've got sportlines on mine and the car doesn't really look significantly lower...like someone said before, it's a noticable, but nothing drastic...

they have been installed just recently though, so i am expecting them to drop slightly more...but it won't make much difference...

 

[y0z2a]

forget how they look.

the handling is vastly improved.

/y0z

 

[y0z2a]

Get them, and the koni dampers.

/y0z

 

[Loopz]

forget how they look.

the handling is vastly improved.

/y0z

agree

for me, the visual effect wasn't all that important, i really wanted something to help reduce that nasty understeer...and i must say i'm quite impressed with the improvment...




btw: do you have koni sport or koni special on your car?...how much did they cost you?
