Cup suspension on a non cup.

[JaredHasNoBrain]

I got a non cup'd 172 and it's on 50mm lowering springs on the front.

To be fair the ride is horrendous, So I seen on here that cup suspension should be able to make the ride less bouncy and trashy.
so does 172 cup suspension fit a 172 non cup?

If not, anyone want to recomend some low priced shocks for me, I don't have much money so cup would be perfect as they go for cheap 2nd hand.

Thanks

Fitting cup shocks wont rectify the fact you have fitted springs that make the car too low.

​Either get cooksports or coilovers.

Just been looking at cooksports but don't have money and there is a que for them lol.
I'll look for coilovers then, so expensive haha

If you want to drive down to Cardiff, you can take my 172 Cup front suspension for cheap?

A really good setup.

Just looked at Eibachs and they look like stock height...
I still want about a 40mm drop, I don't like arch gap haha

Prolines don't offer a drop, Sportlines will though. Mine's on Cup shocks and Sportlines. Excellent for road and track use. About 25mm drop though on average.

Want it a bit lower tbh, Any other recommendations of 30-40mm springs?

 

[sbridgey]

Lower than cooksport/sportlines = coilovers.

Also, have you just got lowering springs on the front, or are they all round?

All round, 50mm on the front and 40mm on the back.
