Are These Cup Springs???

[DaveDreads]

Ive had them for ages, the guy who sold me the car said they were off
a 182cup, not sure if he meant a proper cup or cup packed 182.

I just want to know if they will fit my 172ff ph2?

Rear Springs with red & white stripes.

Frount springs with yellow & blue stripes.

Ive done a search and could not really find a straight answer.

Someone must know,

Anyone?

If the measuremnt between the centers of the hubs is 60mm then there cup shocks it looks like they are.

They arn't a straight fit to your car though.

What about the frount springs, will they fit 172ff shocks?

I think they do but there not the right springs so why bother?

So I can have stiffer springs without spending any money.

Back are, fronts are too I think. Won't really give you any great benefit though, better off with some eibach prolines as I imagine the dampers are tailured to suit the cup springs.

Nope not realy stiffer springs but the whole wrong setup for your car.

Sorry for late reply,

If prolines can be fitted on standard shocks why not cup springs?

I dont really see a problem in doing the above to be honest, cheap but not dangerous.

Because they're two completely different things?
