What did you use to lower it?

Coilovers? Springs?

 

[Turkish]

my money is on apex springs

 

[sac1974]

1st prize to loony

Apex Springs, some people hate them i love em ,i have had them on my mk1 172, 182 and now my cup 182

i found them harsh ride at best but then i guess i was spoiled as i had a set of H&R coilovers on my Mk2 172

That looks nice mate, how much for the exhaust and springs, and any effect on insurance?

 

[sac1974]

the ride is now way near as good as H&R coilovers agreed! but for the money the apex springs make a big difference as long as you can put up with the bumpy ride

Looks nice mate, always liked the racing blue.

Got to ask though...

Why would you go from a 182, to a 182 Cup...then change the suspension for something aftermarket? Isnt that the point of the 182 Cup...better suspension already?

 

[Phill1978]

no the point of the 182cup is that its a.) cheaper b.) lighter

imo of course.

...and then the Trophy comes along!

 

[leeds_182]

What drop is that??

Looks nice that, I think I prefer the blue without the stripes.

[azzer2000]

how low is it, how much are the springs, and finally, is the exhaust noisy?????????

 

[azzer2000]

oh, and how much is the exhaust

 

[JayR]

Nice one fella!!!

One my fav 182 colours aswell!!!

 

[sac1974]

cheers for your interest lads!

I will try and at answer all the question in on go!!

the exhaust cost £360 from europerformance, i must say its the best aftermarket exhaust i have ever bought, not boomy or noisey at motorway speeds. It works really well with my ITG filter

The srings cost £86 from k-tec and its 30mil lower. The reason why i changed the suspension is because i do at least 5 trackdays a year and it needs lower suspension on track.

The reason why i went from a 182 to a 182 cup is becuase i also had a 320 diesel BMW so i sold the 182 and bought an elise as a trackday toy but as soon as i heard about the 182 cup i had to have one, i gave the 320d back and sold the elise and two trackdays later i love it! different car alltogether from the full fat 182.

Thanks
