Wanted Pics of lowered cups

[Dave.]

While my car is being repaired im gonna get them to fit some lowering springs, and i particularly like the eibach springs, as i know they are top notch quality. Although they do not do much cosmetically as i have seen Sh33N's car with eibachs).

Can you post pics of your lowered cars either 30, 40 or 60 please??

I want the best of looks and handling, but cant really afford coilovers

Cheers! :rasp:

[Dave.]

Are the apex's any good?? i want coilovers but cant afford them realistically

Oh and is it worth taking my car to a track set up specialist to get the handling set up better?? geometry etc? I assume you can adjust certain parameters on the cup's suspension?

 

[Fred@BTM]

Apex are excellent

[Nick_R182]

When will you be getting your car back then? Ive bought some 40mm Apex for mine. Cant get them fitted till end of march though . But will have my viper on next weekend and ive got a few more bits planned for FCS!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Mine on H&R's. btw, Eibachs WON'T lower a 172 cup...I've tried it but they are a good spring. I've also had APEX which a bot harsher but fine non the less. But the cream of the crop are the H&R's, for road use at least. Perhaps a little soft for track use but unfortunately I sepnd more time on the poxy UK roads, lol.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Fred, anymore pics of CKF?

 

[dannyboy172]

[Gaz_]

^ mint, whats that lowered on?

 

[Gaz_]

ooopps, it looks lower than mine on the back,i've modded mine too!

 

[Dansta]

modded Gaz?

yeah Mark always said mine sat lower at the rear for some reason cant work out why... no complaints tho.

Altho now ive seen freds ons on, it might be time for a new set...

 

[Gaz_]

loving the wheels there, makes me want to change mine back!

 

[Gaz_]

modded Gaz?

yep, the bit that bolts through the trailing arm, its been modded so you lose the nut that sits under the spring locator, this makes it another 10mm-ish lower. Mine just bolt up from underneath

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

We all know you keep small boys in the boot Dan!

Don't look too close at the wheels Gaz, they're fooked and bubbling up like an aero bar now!

 

[Dansta]

just had mine washed yesterday and we were saying, the one thing about the cup i love, is when its sparkly clean it looks amazing!!!
spesh the wheels... thats the one thing that stopped me doin em dark...
