Whats lower a Clio trophy, or a standard Mk2 172?

[Fletcher]

As above cheers?

 

[S22 JGS]

erm, they are the same height i beleive, just the trophy has much better suspension

 

[Peperami]

Trophy is 10mm lower iirc

 

[alexbleubolt]

172 cup is the lowest

 

[len_beach]

172 cup is the lowest

It's not though. The springs are shorter but due to less weight it is actually higher.

 

[kully]

trophy is lower than a std 172

I pretty sure the front end of a trophy was a further 10mm lower than a cup set up.....

Correct the trophy is 10mm lower at the front only than a 182 cup. I presume the 172 and 182 cups are the same height?

 

[Gaz_]

hhhmmm not sure on that one?

Is yours the trophy with the lowering springs?

 

[Fletcher]

Cheers guys, i thought as much.^^^^

 

[7MAT]

Is yours the trophy with the lowering springs?

Yeah, mines 10mm lower front and back than a std Trophy thanks to a set of custom motorsports springs from Mark Fish. I've also had the Sach dampers un-pinned and can now adjust them for track use.

ooooohh posh. I really like the trophy, but the rear especially looks too high. I will be replacing the cup this year as milage just clicked over to 70k..... a subtle 10-20mm drop would be ideal imo :approve:

The trophy is like a tractor! Handles very well...but not a nice visual height.

 

[7MAT]

Here you go .... only a small 10mm drop front and rear, a slightly stiffer set-up with reduced body roll (on std damper settings).

How come? 70K isn't that much, is it:S

 

[Gaz_]

Looks perfect :approve: My next car i *think* i want to leave messing around with the suspension too much. I'm on H&R's, and whilst its a good ride on A/B roads, it can get rough around town. So thinking a trophy would be a good replacement

 

[Ali]

^But your cup looks beta...

nothing lasts forever

wont be till after summer if/when i do anyway.

 

[Fletcher]

I'm in the same boat gaz, my 172 is now on 68K and i have been thinking about a swapping her for a clio trophy.

 

[7MAT]

^But your cup looks beta...

Wasn't done for looks and while slammed cars might look good they just don't handle / drive well IMHO.

 

[Fletcher]

So how much better does the trophy handle compared to a 172 on H&R's set up properly?

Its only a thought, i'd like a black gold 182, but the trophy is seen as the ultimate etc, abit like the cup used to be handling wise etc Its more special

 

[Gaz_]

So how much better does the trophy handle compared to a 172 on H&R's set up properly?

I wouldnt have said a great deal if being honest..... H&R's are perfect for road imo, very very good set up. I Reckon the trophy will be more at home being raped down a b road with its hydrolic progressive bumpstops etc

Some truth in that...But Professionally set coils will make the world of difference.

I think slammed cars look s**t now...Been there done that. It's a joke when people stare because it's scrubbin off the arches! Mines a nice height now.

Does it come in any other colours?
