15's/15" Alloys and Cooksports/Cooksport Springs (Trophy pics inside)

[Wick]

At the request of a few people I've taken a few pictures to illustrate the height of 15" F1's with Cooksports. Wheels are 7J ET38 iirc. Tyres, 195/50/15. No spacers.

Overly detailled title so hopefully when people search it covers most bases. I struggled to find many...

Shoddy effort with the camera. Parked. Took Photos. Went home. Too windy. No tripod.

Oh and there's a spare wheel in the boot, and still currently on cup rear shocks... not that it makes a massive difference.

 

[wozza182]

Looks really good.

 

[Adamm.]

Looks nice mate, I'd love some F1's on the 182 tbh but would want to trial fit them first to be sure so bit awkward sadly so probably just stick with the standard 16's .

 

[leeds_182]

Carries it off I'd say.

 

[Edges]

Do you think the Sachs dampers make the front a little than cup ones would?

A spare (Turini) with tyre weighs 15kg, so a fair amount of weight tbh and when I have my spare in the boot the makes the rear sit noticable lower on Cooksport springs.

Why not just borrow some F1s to try?

Can you stop posting pictures of your car on Cooksports, at least until their stock is replenished and I get my hands on a set?

Looks really lovely though mate, good effort.

Fronts have all been manufactured, they are just finishing the rears. Completion will be end of this week/beginning of next. Then its a 2 day delivery from Europe

I'l take a set too hopefully there will be enough to goRound?

Wick am i right in assuming last weekend...sunday i think we pulled into Cheltenham Halfrauds same time. I was in 172 Cup missing front number plate?

​I am recognising the picture location.

 

[Wick]

Cheers for the nice comments guys.

A little what? that's missing a word I'm sure!

Cooksport guys. Top work. The spring rates complement the Sachs nicely. Can't wait to get them on track!

 

[Cooksport]

Got almost double the stock this time, so hopefully will last longer than 1 day lol!

[Cooksport]

Lol, nice try. They are farrrr from that, different material and everything.

Yes!

I meant to put a spotted thread up. Would normally have stopped to chat but I was in a massive rush and your mrs looked perplexed (exactly like my mrs does) when I see another owner.

Lovely cup!

 

[jenic]

Looks great that, height suits the wheels well without it looking too modified.

Cheers for the nice comments guys.

Doh!! Rushing to type while at work.. Fail! A little higher I meant!

Superb news, thanks for the update Mr Cook!

 

[James28]

Looks lovely that !

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Looks lovely that !

+1!

I think I need cooksports and 15's, it pulls them off well

 

[jicholasnackson]

Looks lovely Sam.

 

[Wick]

Haha thought so.

Im not sure on the height side of things. I'll get some Sachs on next week so should be able to compare.

Cheers everyone.

 

[Jekyll]

Looks good Sam. I wanted to know what 15" wheels would look like with cooksports. I think its the way to go without coilovers for 15" wheels.

Couldn't agree more!

 

[Rob]

This looks blooming stonking Sam, I assume I'll see you in it this weekend?

 

[mckay]

Looking good, making me think even more of selling the turinis for some 2118`s.

Im also thinking of ditching my coilovers (vmaxx ) for standard suspension all round with cooksports and keeping my 2118's.

Unfortunately not mate we're taking my old shed clio to stuff the wheels in lol.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Really like that Sam, looks well and sits just right mate

Some Renault diamond centre caps would finish it off nicely imo

 

[Wick]

I agree. Centre caps are essential.

 

[L14AMJ]

Yes!

Lovely cup!

Cheers fella,

Same goes for the Trophy i was trying to explain the differences in between Trophy and Cup and so on lol

 

[Tim.]

Here's a crappy iPhone pic of mine on the drive home from having Sportlines replaced with Cooksports, 20mm spacers fitted up front, and 2118s wearing AD08Rs fitted.

It'll need time to settle then I'll take it out on my favourite loop to judge the changes.

May look a bit low at the rear but it is loaded with 4x Turinis, the Sportlines plus a few other bits and bobs.

 

[BustaMOVEs]

Nice, looking forward to fitting mine now, got delivered other day, hope wethers good over weekend might tackle it.
Hoping the handlings good too as I mainly bought for that reason without going for b14 coilovers.

 

[Jekyll]

Holy sh!t Tim that looks great!!

 

[Wick]

That looks superb Tim. I'm looking to swap my turini's for 2118's and that just confirmed it!

 

[Jacky_T]

really like this about to put 15'' on my standard 172 with coilovers wanted some idea of what it would look like! love it!
