ebach pro on a 182 cup packed

[hipwell]

Right guys ive got a cup packed 182 and was going to lower it but then relaised i wont be able to get down my drive as its steep and 1.5 cm lower and itl scrap on the bottom of the car going over.

so basically the sportline springs are out the window.

I see the proline springs say they lower it by 15mm but in reality its more like 10mm so im thinking of getting them as i want to change the handling of the car not too fussed about how it looks.


But my main question here is does the 15mm lower mean on a standard 182 or on a cup packed one? The cup is lower anyway so surely if they state 15mm for a standard 182 then therel be no change on a cup packed one or does it not work like that?

I think its the other way round sportline lower a but proline lower more

pro's lower less than sportlines, but handle better apparently. i have pros on my 182ff and it has lowered it a bit, 10mm-ish

Make any difference to the handing?

Pro's for go Sport's for show is the saying.

I dont really have an answer to your question because im a non sport, But the lowering on pro's isn't massive and that sounds like what your after, And the handling is greatly improved imo...

same springs in terms of how they feel, different ride heights

sportlines lower it approx 30mm
pros don't lower it at all

So cup or not the pros are still not gona make either lower?

 

[Fred@BTM]

its something crap like 5-10mm ie you won't notice

 

[guysy]

Is that just on sports Fred?

I've definatly noticed about 15mm on front and 20-25mm on back... maybe more on non sport prolines.

yeah i'm on about the RS cars

yeah i'm on about the RS cars

So the pros on my 182 cup packed will lower by about 5mm which is good so I can still get down the drive lol. Will I notice any difference handling wise?

Also one more.

Would I need to tel the insurance if they are pretty much same as standard ?
