Hi gents What’s the general consensus with lowering a cup chassis model rs265? They are a little high, not to the point it really bothers me but they do look nicer. Would it effect the cup chassis for the worse? Thanks
I changed mine for Cooksports. Handling and comfort is very similar to cup. But the ride height front and rear is now spot on.
I just thought, If they are quality springs, then the set up and shocks are the cup chassis and the sprsings are not doing all the work to the stock models? I don’t know hence asking, I’m not too clued up on suspension
I had my 250 lowered on cooksports 3 weeks ago, comfort the same if as standard cup springs. Slightly lower (scientifically 3 fingers to 2 fingers) and really makes it sit just right in my opinion, probably feels the same to drive in reality I can't tell a massive difference. Absolutely no rubbing and no issues with clearance, speedbumps / potholes haven't been a problem
I dont find them to be crashy at all. They feel very similar to standard cup. They make the car sit nicer than H&R.
Defiantly not crashy on my car they are the same as the standard cup springs in comfort. Agree with DoubleD
Both on a MK3 Megane? So the H&Rs ride better than a standard cup? I still prefer the look of the car on the cooksports to the H&R.
Ok so, I’m on CookSports at the moment and wondering if Gram springs might be a better bet. They are still lowering which I like, but I was just wondering if there was much difference between the Cook’s and the Grams?
Gathering Intel in a thread about mk3 springs...... Start a new thread instead of messing this one up
What size springs were they so to speak? How much did they quote to lower it by 35mm front and rear ? Cheers
