[pritchard-13]

so had the cambelt and dephaser done today! so now decided now thats done time for some modifications
i want a set of lowering springs not sure how low just basicly so the arches sit level with the tops of the wheels?
i want some springs that probly aint as stiff as the cup ones if possible stop from breaking my kneck when going over bumps and stop some rattles lol suggestions pleasee thanks

I had Eibach sportlines on my cup and i liked them, not had experience of any others.

​Cooksports are rated on here too

did u notice any difference in the car being more bumpy or was it a bit more comfy? ill have a look now

Only a slight increase in firmness but honestly it was a decent ride.

Compared to a spring like apex (more drop though) , it's night and day (eibach = better)

If you didn't want a firm ride why'd you get a Cup?
Waste of a good Cup.
Some people. SMH.

I have eibachs on mine, ride is firm but then I need new dampers. The "stance" is ok but I'm not a girl about these things, I want my car to go fast, not look fast.

I got the cup as it was all i could afford at them time and it was only 5 mins up the road all the other 172s were crap! Im thinking of selling and getting a 182 but then think its stupid as ive just had the belts and dephaser done!!!

When I bought my 172Cup...I never really knew much about the differences. I said to someone who used to be part of CS that I sometimes wished I had bought a 172 proper...but he said that I would have said the same thing if I'd bought a 172 over a Cup.

With the Cup the only things which I would change would be springs and seats. I did nearly 100k in it and it was fine. I got a 182 after losing the Cup and glad I did as I prefer my toys now (probably my age!!).
