Cup springs on a Ph1?

[GazP]

Anyone fitted Cup springs to their 172 ph1? Would like to know if it lowered the car at all and if they made it feel better. Pics would be good too

Anyone?

Cup springs are firmer and slightly lower, not noticeable though, we're talking mm.

Hmmm sure I read the cups are 7mm lower than a 172 .... are the 172 ph2 and ph1 springs the same?

It's either 3 or 5mm I can't remember exactly, it's not 7mm though. Not that you'd notice anyway.

172 springs are the same as far as I know.

when i bought my ph1 it had cup springs on it, so yea they do fit, it looked exactly the same next to my mates standard ph1 though

I'd get eibach sportlines personally. They're a big improvement over standard. Cup springs will make hardly any noticable difference. Not much lower or stiffer.

Thought it would have been slightly lower

The plan was to buy Sportlines but I noticed people selling Cup springs for £20 so thought it might have been worth a punt. I'm changing the rear shocks in the summer so was thinking about fitting springs at the same time.

Think you're right though, if I'm gonna fit springs might aswell do it right and be happy first time!

think i read somewhere their like 5mm lower but you could be 5mm lower if go from brand new tyres to bald ones.

could give them a trim lol
