Do you want just lows, or good handling?

 

[w33 brl]

both would be good as there are a few good driving roads in my area

Ok.

I have H&R coilovers on my 172. For them or something similar you are looking at around £750-1,000.

just go for eibach sportlines and a rear arb meant to be epic...coilovers seem to just ruin the handling

FLOL... have you ever been in or driven a 1*2 with a decent set of coilovers fitted, set up properly?

ok well seeing as MOST people on here arnt going to spend the likes of what you just mentioned and go for cheap s**t thats how i mean by ruining the handling

Yes. a decent set, set up properly will, lots of choice for the 172s.

I have had my H&R's coilovers fitted for over 4.5 years, and now done about 60k they have been bloody excellent, the H&R's are one of the softer coilovers so they ride the poor UK roads well too.

Try and get a passenger ride in a car with a decent coilover set up, and see what you think mate.

If you can get hold of one

A lot of people on here really rate them. I've yet to drive a 1*2 in anger with one fitted, so can't really comment.

ave heard people say good things about them for other cars but none on the 172

thanks for the help
