I dont know myself -buuuttt from what iv heard its pretty much spot on (basically not worth f'in around with it) It will handle better than a standard 172/182

Front around 12mm (10mm lower than a cupped 182, which is 3mm lower than an uncupped version)

Remember if you were going to fit it, you'd also need new 182 cup/trophy/cup-packed hubs. These have a 60mm boltspacing on the hub, which is different to 172's.

also you can't adjust them anyways.

I thought the damping could be adjusted matey...

You need to remove Renaults pin first, then you have up to 40 adjustments on the Sachs.

for the cost of the sach dampers you can get two to three sets of top of the range coilovers

As gaz says, it wont fit a 172.

is it difficult to remove the pin?

the main thing I notice about the Trophy is the very hard ride in comparison to my old cupped 182 and even better turn in response and driver feedback.
