Ride height of 172 cup

[edd1982]

Do all 172 cups sit up at the front slightly? Haven't had mine long and it looks either sat up at front, or down at the back. :S

Yes. They do tend to ride high at the front, going by every one I've seen.

 

[Poopensharten]

Well the heaviest part of the car is the engine so its hardly going to be higher at the front (standard)

Bigger front arches on Clios make them appear higher at the front than the back. Look at the sills and you'll probably see it's actually a bit nose down.

Good call JCC!

If you look at normal 172s and 182s though they appear to sit more level than the Cups and they have the same arches.

Both my Cups have appeared to sit nose up and it annoyed the hell out of me lol.

Yeah my cup used to sit high at the front, annoyed me to it looked very odd, so decided to get some eibachi prolines, sits nice and even now

Mine has a massive arch gap on the front

my 182 ff sits higher at the front (about 1-2 cm) than a friend's 172. Also higher than a RB 182 ff I've checked recently.. Don't have a clue why because all three cars are stock (mine has new dampers all round)

Looks like they all seem to be higher at the front, mine too.
Can anyone remember if they were like that when new?
