Uprated Suspension??

[Stu_350z]

Hey...sorry if this is a repost but tried searching an didnt get the answers im looking for...

Im looking to uprate the standard suspension on my 172 cup, is it best to go for prolines or sportlines??

what are the differences between them? Bearing in mind the car will be used for town, some motorway and some "spirited" bumpy B road driving lol

also im not looking at coilovers.....


cheers

Sportlines because they're cheaper

Neither. Get a whiteline ARB, will make a much, much bigger difference than springs (speaking from experience). Similar cost, but easier to fit (1/2 hr diy job).

Yeah i want a whitelin as well..but jus want something to lower the gap between the arches a little but not comprimise the handling tbh lol

 

[clio_luke]

imo prolines and sportline drive the same pretty much. get the sportlines to lower it a little, then a rear arb to tighten things up.

 

[Stu_350z]

So you think there is no diff between the two springs then??
which one lowers the most btw??? cheers

There's a definite difference. It's not massive but def there. Sportlines go lower and are slightly firmer. I've had both, pro's for me!

Prolines are slightly stiffer than Sportlines. However, Sportlines lower by more, they're cheaper and IMO they actually feel better on the road.
Definitely get the Whiteline ARB though. After being in a 172 with one fitted, it's definitely going to be my next investment after the brakes I urgently need.

Sportlines go lower and are slightly firmer.

Are they? I thought the Prolines felt firmer than my Sportlines do.

Ride on sports was more jittery.

I am struggling to decide between pro's and sports at the moment

arrgghhhh

sports, done

 

[treemanx]

Is their still a long wait in the whitline ARB? Also fred how far in advance would I need to book my car in with you? Got a service coming up and I want the HC/DS2500 combo!
