Anyone ever owned a Trophy and a 172/182 with coilovers?

How did they compare? was one significantly better than the other?

Can't help like the trophy, it reminds me a little of a williams'esque type of car, last of the bunch and value wise (for the time being) the one to have for future value...

I also can't help think though that its not advanced enough to jack in a 172/182 just for the sake of (primarily) the altered suspension.

Was just curious if you can save yourself the hassle and re-create the feeling with your own car.

The 172 isn't as good as the williams to drive to me, but its not far off standard for standard - but I don't mind playing with this one where touching the willys suspension/tyres was a no no!

If you are going to get coils get some H&Rs imo these are the best for fast rd and track !

Aye heard good things about them - would be on the list!

I honestly also prefer the look (I'll get shot for this!) of a standard ph2 over a trophy - I like how discreet it is in standard trim - bit of a wolf if you know what I mean.

I can park this a lot easier than I could the willy anyway!

i asked this a while back, only one trophy lowered.

I know there would be a lot of 'are you mad' posts from trophy owners - I'm the same when someone says you can lower a 1.2 mk1 and it handles better than a williams

Properly set up coilovers on a normal 172/182 must be bloody good though.
