Clean bean on 'Cooksport springs'

[Rhauri]

How are the Cooksport springs performing matey? How does the ride compare to standard?

 

[imprezaworks]

They are fine mate, a little harsher than standard but i expected that. Id buy them again no bother.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Have you driven on the eibach sportline or proline? How do these compare?

 

[Lawro]

I personally think the ride is better and they seem to offer better turn in than the Eibach Sportlines IMO

 

[Chip-mk1]

Im struggling to see how it can improve the ride and the turn in at once TBH Lawro, seems a bit unlikely for something as simple as just a spring (unless you tracking was out before and is correct now or some other change as part of fitting them?)

Better turn in normally implies more roll resistance, and that would imply stiffer springs, which then doenst go along with what you are saying about the better ride, so TBH I wonder if its just that "oh ive got something new I love it" thing coming through that we can all let influence our judgement especially when we have just spent out own cold hard cash.

I guess you can say that about pretty much anything, exhaust, coilovers, new airfreshner etc. My personal thoughts are that i like the way they look, its feels more planted, and i feel it rides similar to my fk konigsport coilovers i fitted to my phase1 ages ago. They cost a fair bit more than these springs, obviously.

You are comparing a change in damping as well as spring rate there though mate, so its a little different to a straight swap from one spring to another, the spring can be firmer or softer, or the same, and thats about it really, there isnt a lot to vary!

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah well im happy.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Ah well im happy.

Cool stuff mate, personally if they ride and handle like Eibachs but sit the car a little better, then I cant see whats not to like, especially if on new cup shocks.
Quite tempted to try a set, but just wanting a few people to take some more measurements first so I can see if I should be fitting all 4 or just the front pair, as TBH our rear sits about right anyway on the eibach so I wouldnt want to alter it for no reason.

 

[Cooksport]

There are so many variables which change the characteristics of the spring. We spent a lot of time altering ride heights and spring rates (especially rear) to end up with this finished product. Our springs are made out of a very very high quality chrome steel, which is different to that of the eibach. We did spend a lot of time altering the rear spring poundage, ours are fairly stiff which does increase the vehicle's turn in.

Variables such as; the conical shape, the method used for the spring winding, progressive spring rate etc. all determine how a spring feels and reacts. In this case we have managed to develop a spring which we feel (as do others) is just better than the eibach Sportline.

As with any product though, there will be customers who feel that these are not for them.

Really glad that you’re happy with yours Daniel

We also have some other products in manufacture currently, which im sure you will be interested in

 

[imprezaworks]

Which are???? ^^

 

[Chip-mk1]

Josh, do you know the percentage difference of yours compared to eibach in terms of rate or front and rate for rear?

I know my mrs won't want to go much firmer for daily use but I would still like a tiny bit more so long as it wasn't too much for ride quality.

 

[marksman]

are these good for daily use ?? was gonna buy the eibachs but willing to give these a go if they are suitable to a daily driver and not just a "good weather driver "

These springs are great. Give them a go!

 

[imprezaworks]

They are fine matey, I use mine daily. Can't wait to get on track

 

[Leeshez]

Stunning. .

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers mate

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum (this is my first post). Just bought a 2002 1.2 16v dynamique, looking into lowering it for everyday use, and these springs take my fancy. Could be a stupid question but how do I get hold of some and what price am I looking at for them?

Hopefully going to have a Nautilus blue and matte black theme
