cup springs vs ff springs

[karlktm]

how much firmer are the cup springs compared to the ff172 versions?

also, how much lower are they?

 

[edde]

nothing much stiffness wise

5mm front 7mm at the back from memory but tolerances mean that a ff can infact be lower.

 

[karlktm]

pointless really swapping them then?!

Yes.

Although it does give you the ability to rave on about how much better it is even if its in the head more than real.

i've fitted the cup springs for ff's for a few people now b16doe being one,,

if you think about it, the cup, standard is lower 7mm than a ff.

the cup is lighter than an ff

imagine for a second that both cars were the same weight, fit the cup srpings to the ff its going to be 7mm lower right?

now put all the extra weight of the ff in there too,, you are probably looking at 10 or more mm lowering

it looked better to me,, noticable

ride height is oficially 5mm front and 7mm back lower but the tolerance is 5mm + or -

The normal 172 tolerance is is + or - 10mm

ah i see!
