Trophy on Cooksport Springs

[Keith185]

Will post more details and photos in my project thread including it on my 2118's but here are two from today after fitting my new Springs on little red.

What springs did you have before Keith?

 

[Stefan.]

It doesn't have the 'nose down' stance like on other springs.

 

[Tim.]

What are your initial impressions of them & the Sachs up front?

As per sj's comments, it does look low at the rear but not so much at the front. Needs more 'tractor'

I'm pinning my hopes on Cooksport springs & a set of 15s looking the business. Here's hoping - please post those pics up asap (I know Jamie (Jésus) is keen to see them too)

Standard Trophy springs (Trophy Eibach front and cup rears) Johnny.

I know :/ have taken measurements before and once they've settled that stance will be back

Seem to ride quite nice but didnt really have chance to test them properly tbh. Yeah have been in contact with Jaimie, imo it rides just nice with 15's but may still be too high for those who want racecar looks lol, to me getting springs changed was to get the standards off while they're still in good condition to store away

i've had my cooksports on for 3 months or so now and they have 'settled' and tbh there isnt much nose down, the fronts are pretty much level pegging with the rears, looks pretty similar to the above pics

does work well on 15's however, but need either spacers of lower offset than 43 to pull it off well imo, below is on superlegs (ET37) and cooksports, no spacers

Hope so. At the moment, id be very concerned that they're changing the feel/setup of the car. Just FYI, compared to ...

Sportlines:

H&R Coilovers:

Looks really nice that Keith just the right drop.

Thanks Dave. In terms of spring rate they seem very similar to the standard setup so far on feel. And for the ride height the normal nose down stance will be back as I will either be getting custom made ones made up or more likely i'll be making rear spring platforms to raise the back up. Won't be loosing any of the Trophy-ness

Looks really nice that Keith just the right drop.

​Thanks Craig

Looks lovely. I really get on with mine handling wise and will be adding 15's shortly

Looking forward to pics

Just wondering how are you finding the handling with these a couple of months on compared to the stock setup?

Potentially buying some 2118's soon myself and don't want to make the handling worse.

 

[Chi]

RB looks great!

 

[Adamm.]

The RB makes me want 15's so tempted to just get some F1's

Front is very similar to the standard trophy setup. Rear is bit firmer but seems to ride bumps very nicely.

Since fitting them I've now changed the rear to Eibach Sportline, due to the ride height and these are pretty much same as the cooksports, maybe marginally softer.

Very impressed by the springs, ride height on rear isn't to my taste on 16's anyway. But in terms of build quality and function they're brilliant.

the RB now looks thusly, still on the cooksports
