do the pros drop 15mm from stand ie i have a cup pack is this 15mm lower than this ?

i doubt the pro kit will lower at all with the cup pack. it may even appear higher.

these springs arent about lowering...

Cup suspension is only 5mm lower than standard iirc, so it should appear slightly lower, but its been said. its not about height with these. its about handling and the difference is apparently top notch.

I fitted a new set of Eibach Sportlines to my cup packed 182 2 days ago. Handling is superb and the drop is about 30-35mm on my set!

I have pros on my car and it dramatically improves the handling. There is less roll and the steering and turn in is quicker. It only lowers the car slightly, more so on the front but overall a very good spring.

cheers pal, let me know when youve contacted eibach, cheers

 

[rob172cup]

how much are they?

 

[Jaffa182]

I'd be interested in the group buy if your sorting it out!!!

 

[knocker]

Me too some sportlines

 

[Alan]

Sportlines..

 

[rob172cup]

im interested but whats the price? i mean before the group buy but i will be interested in a group buy

 

[JD]

id be interested too but im not a sport owner so would be looking to get some sportlines suitable for a 1.2 16v 52 reg.

if you can get them with any discount then great!

they are on my "to save up for" list anyways, so if you cant get non sport ones in the group buy then no worries no harm in asking though

Sportlines will give you a 50mm drop in front, 30 in the back.

Not sure about the pro's.

 

[john182rs]

I was told that the sportline give a 30mm drop and prolines give about 10mm drop for the clio 182 ff's

 

[lee_cup]

i have a 182 cup, i want to get some, but i would prefer if my car only got lowered upto about 25mm at the most, would i be better going for the pro's or the sportlines??

 

[Silverfox]

Wish I'd waited for the group buy! Bought some Sportlines last week and had them fitted last Tuesday. After reading this thread, I thought it maight help if I showed you what mine now looks like on Sportlines to help anyone decisions:

The handling is superb with them and I reckon the drop realistically after a week is about 25mm, maybe slightly more. Certainly not a huge drop but its a nice one IMO. Just takes that slightly 'on stilts' look away and if you look at some standard cars after this pic you will see the difference.

Hope this helps....

right then i think i want some sport lines!

so on my 172 how much drop? 30mm?

how is the car over speed bumps ect?

and will the wheels rub when fully loaded with people? (not that i do often)

thanks

Mine is a 172 just with 182 wheels, which are identical in diameter to the standard 172 wheels, so your drop will be the same as above visually. Speed bumps are not a problem at all as the Clio sits fairly high to begin with I reckon. Not had a full load in mine yet but I'm 99% sure there will be no issues as there's still loads of clearance. I've read in many places that people with 17's still don't have problems with these springs. Well worth it in my opinion...
