Urgent advice needed 172 cup springs

[182chick]

Looking at the possibility of getting some Eibach Sportline springs, as mine have snapped, but need to know if the Sportline's lower the cup even more.

Also what is the general difference between the Sportline and Pro (ride height etc)

Thanks

Sportlines do lower the car but not by much (20-30mm) Prolines make little to no difference to ride height. In my experiance

so if I buy sportlines will the car sit lower then it does already? Is 20-30mm on a cup or non cup?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah sportlines = 30mm drop
pros = no drop (ie looks standard)

cup is a whopping 3mm lower than a non cup

 

[182chick]

cool thanks.
Whats the ride quality like?, are there any improvements to the handling?

I've gone from 2 years of standard 172 to 6 months of sportlines and it looks and drives loads better. Very good value combo imo.
