Cooksport springs fitted (before and after)

[Ghm]

Hey all, finally decided to bite the bullet and was fortunate enough to get a set of the sought after cooksport springs recently.

Here is a few pictures of how it stood and looked beforehand:

Got the springs fitted today and the result is somewhat remarkable, totally changes the look and feel of the car.

Although the tracking etc will have to be sorted out and I would say comfort is ever so slightly sacrificed for the looks but nothing I didn't expect:

Thanks for taking the time to look, cheers.

[ChewyB]

Looks good that mate

 

[imprezaworks]

Loads better mate, good choice.

 

[yeecup]

Looks great

Noice. Sportlines were never quite enough on my last 182. Cooksports are perfect on my latest.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

I like that! Looks very tidy! I just put Cooksports on also, love them......... Perfect drop and nice performance!

 

[Brett]

Nice drop on the Cooksports. I had them on my 182. They were really nice on a smooth road, no body roll at all, like a go kart. Pot holes etc weren't nice to hit though, that could be said for any lowering spring though.

Great product overall.

 

[Ghm]

Thanks all, yes that is one thing I would note when going over potholes or dips in the road you can really feel it but not to an extent where its uncomfortable just noticeable.

 

[imprezaworks]

Guess that applies to any lowering springs though.

 

[Lawro]

Looks much better! These springs are full of win.

 

[Ash87]

​That's good as I like this anyway gives a good feel. Not like I bought a clio sport for comfort anyway

I really should pester Josh to do cooksport springs for non-sports lol. Epic springs.

 

[scott.p]

Looks smart! I've got a set of cooksports sat in the box until august as I need to get all the other components for my suspension refresh.
Your car has gone from looking like a monster truck to looking spot on, cant wait to get mine fitted.

4pm ish i reckon was just passing through while visiting a mate

 

[Poopensharten]

Superb, Dumbarton rock?

Also, that wheel colour is spot on - nicest shade i've seen for the standard rims on a 182!

I've asked him couple of times about where he got them done....i think its a Honda colour but they do go well with artic

 

[Ghm]

Ta, I was shall we say not fit to drive at that time yesterday, but you are spot on Danny that's Dumbarton Rock.

The alloys are Honda Anthracite like Scott mentioned and I got them done by JB repairs they are at Oakbank Industrial Estate, Garscube Road.

 

[scotty10]

Do you drink in the stags ghm ?

 

[Ghm]

Don't drink that often Scott but been to the Stags a couple times alright. What about yourself, still come back for a pint or two or found somewhere new in Renfrew?

 

[scotty10]

Used to watch the games in the stags before i came to bishopton

I don't bother coming over its a taxi back or get on three trains which isn't worth it

 

[Ghm]

Fair enough and properly extremely wise! Watched a few Scotland games and the odd OF at the stags and the atmosphere was just as good as being at Ibrox.

 

[Ghm]

Couple more pictures, slightly edited one or two:

If anyone wants, feel free to post a picture up of your car on cooksports.

 

[Poopensharten]

That looks great man, the wheel colour properly sets this aside from other arctics, well played.

 

[scotty10]

Where is that picture taken I've got a rough idea

 

[Ghm]

Its down next to Dumbarton Castle and behind the football stadium.

 

[scotty10]

ah good location....

 

[ricky1989]

not a good pic but cooksports :clap:

 

[Ghm]

^ Black on black is looking smart, good job.

 

[kpowell911]

Why are these so rare?

 

[Ghm]

Why are these so rare?

Limited stock and the last batch ran out within 24h or less.. But I believe they are ordering a lot more in next time around.

Got a mate who isn't on here with an inferno 182, he's just fitted silver turinis and is after some good springs now, where and when will these be for sale again?
