Nice Height?

[jackbaps]

Hey guys...after I get my Clio (if I ever bloody find one near to me) it is inevitable that I will be lowering it a little. I have had coilovers on previous cars and don't think I can compensate spending another £500 on suspension! While looking on auto trader I found this car:

It says it has "grpA springs". Anyone know which these are? Also, will changing the springs affect the cup suspension pack much? Or is the ride mostly down to cup shocks?

Thanks all.

Also, what is the difference in the cup suspension to standard suspension? Is cup suspension lower or just have more refined shocks?

Thanks

Anyone? I have done a search but it only returned topics about grp N exhausts or something? Hehe.

Im no 172 expert but afaik the springs are slightly lower 3/5mm? and stiffer?

Look here:

little way down it outlines the differences in cup suspension.

Not sure what grp A springs mean, no doubt just Apex jobs but sounds better if he says 'Group A'

no 172 expert either but ant cup package got lower profile tyres on aswel to stop body roll
also av heard coilovers mess up handeling on sports n your better going for a decent set of springs n some koni shocks

Nope same tyres they wre supposed to have spec tyres but in the end the none cuped got them as well.

Coilkovers if you get good ones are better than stock I don't rate any springs and damper setup particularly Koni the only decinet stockish type stuff is Renault own.

Cuped 182's are 3mm lower but with tolerance you can end up with a cuped 182 higher than a none cupped.roup N aor N mean nothing group N are near enoughs tock group N are near stock there a waste and stock are IMO better Renault spent a fortune getting them right.
