havent gone 4 the cup chassis,just wondering how high it will look. has any1 any pics pls? gotta wait another month,flippin renault! :dapprove: thanks guys

I think its only 10mm higher than the cup / R27, not very noticable when looking side by side.
Difference being the cup is 27 % stiffer at the front and 30 % stiffer at the rear IIRC, and obviously the cup chassis underneath.

what was your reasoning behind not going for it mate, comfort? it will still handle excelently without it so i wouldnt worrie, and then theres always coil overs.

7mm

Not a lot then

As has been said the car handles brilliantly without the cup packs and its not massively higher. I cant imagine the ride comfort at 30% stiffer though
Here are a couple of pics of mine on standard 197 suspension

That is the Cup Chassis, the lower ride and stiffer spring rates..... nothing else

I see you have compared it to a 1.2 Clio?

Standard 197 un cupped height,

Bit of H&R magic,

Here is my old 197, which was not lowered.
