[ross2786]

its just a spring kit on the cup shocks

 

[Dan R]

Like i said. looks good. When i get my coilovers in a couple of weeks im hopin my looks like that

 

[Track'd]

seems low at the back even for a spring kit...looks nice though!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

what spring kit? never ever heard of a 40mm front 60mm rear kit

 

[Rob R26r]

Thought your supposed to have it slightly higher on the rear?:S

 

[ross2786]

it originally came of my mates dci clio 3years ago had them on my 1200 is well dunno wat kit they are he couldn't remeber the name

 

[Jay_clio]

[Fred@BTM]

sure is!

 

[ross2786]

wat damage am i looking?

 

[Fred@BTM]

no idea, but it'll handle like a bag on nails! did you fit them? as the shocks are different on the RS

 

[Pep]

lol, thats why the front looks a lot lower than 40mm!

 

[ross2786]

yeh fitted them myself they sat just the same alround yeh there is a few more bumps n stots but it not that bad being the cup shocks handles that wee bit better then the cup suspension n doesnt look as high on the back either

 

[Pep]

haha, full on pikey edition suspension!

 

[huckin18]

mine is 25mm on spax springs handles better and still ok over bumps esp as round here there are a million potholes n speed bumps...
60mm on a sport holey hell do they ahve enough travel to do that?
non rs springs shouldnt fit a sport no?
looks reaol low anyways!
need to get some pics taken of mine too

 

[len_beach]

Sportlines are listed for 1.2's as one application and everything else as the other.

As long as these were originally intended for the DCI, should they not be OK?

 

[ross2786]

na na dont trust most garages with my car

well it was off a ph2 and there all the same chassis no?

 

[Fred@BTM]

same shell, way different shocks/hubs/springs

 

[ross2786]

oh!!! springs are springs tho or are the cup sus made for itself only

are the cup rear springs ment to be different sizes in height ?

 

[theduck]

springs are springs tho

no, they arent...

 

[ross2786]

spose there all tested to there own makes

 

[Soulless]

are the 182 springs all around or torsion bar on the rear?

 

[Michael172]

my car

+30mm

 

[Ben.]

haha, full on pikey edition suspension!

lol, does seem like abit of a bodge

 

[Neil G]

None....still standard height

I believe unless you have the cash to buy 'proper' suspension and have it setup it's not worth fooking about with.

Bunging a car on lower springs and making it stiff as hell doesn't necessarily make a good handling car, especially on UKs potholed excuse for roads!

 

[foxon]

independent springs + dampers at the rear with all in 1 springs n dampers on the front.

mines on fk coilovers, roughly about 60mm at the front and 70mm at the back but i hav nothing in the rear, wanted it low at back so i don`t lose it booting it rund runabouts ect.

 

[A13EX F Trophy No70]

mines lowered 30mm


awaits a slagging off for lowering a trophy.

already got a few haters on here for having a sub in the boot, an engine cover, polished plenum and a ff rear bench

dont believe on spending that much on suspension kits dont use the car alot as i have a van to so its more for the look of the car

 

[Fred@BTM]

172 and 182 has a rear torsion beam with rear springs and shocks, NOT a torsion bar

 

[Big Iain]

[Alan]

[Djw John]
