Quick 172 Cup suspension question

[team_penetrator]

Hi,
Was wondering if the springs from 172/182s are the same as those found on the 172 Cup?
Thanks,
Phil

No, but they all fit each other.

Ta,
Whats the difference? Are the Cup springs stiffer?

 

[DrR]

yeah think so.

 

[team_penetrator]

Any idea if it actually makes any real difference?

 

[Fred@BTM]

it does

Different springs as the cup has a lower ride height than the 172's, if you want to change them i wouldnt personnally put originals back on, go for a set of ebachi prolines, nearly identical to the original but come with 5 year guarantee and cost £150 for a set of 4, geuine renault spring = £100 each, you do the maths

cup springs are better but leave the car a little to high i think, i changed mine for 40mm apex lowering springs feels better thru corners and looks ALOT nicer
