    Anyone has fitted these to their PH1/2 225? How's the ride quality and maybe a pic of them fitted?

    I have them on my ph1 with r26 shocks and the ride is fine
    Less body roll than standard and slightly harder ride but good enough for everyday driving

    considering of getting them in combination with R26 shocks, anyone got a clue what these cost?

    I still haven't made my mind up on these - all the Meganes I've seen them on look either way to low/broken or spot on. Bit hard to decide on such a 50/50 effort!

    Had mine fitted yesterday. Nothing like a bit of last minute.

    Come over to the cooksport stand and you'll see the springs ride height when you first pop on them on and then after they've settled (Mine and Ash's cars).

    Well it handles loads better had sportlines on then marks blacks old proline equivalents/copies then cooksports their F1 225 @ french car show was the best imo their other cars were nice too :thumbup:

    i think the prolines are a good compromise, the cook sports look too low imo..

    See I think that looks spot on, but surely prolines are a downgrade compared to standard cup shocks/springs?

    gave some tuition to will. around oulton the other day, he's OEM bar cooksports, the poise and slight stiffening was fantastic. so much more composure in the car. my 2p anyway..

    Very good set up with r888's, I was scared shitless of the the grip levels. I've never pushed mine that hard haha :smile:.

    Stance on mine;

    PERFECT height, still have to be a tad careful on speed bumps and ramps but I'm use to it.

    The car felt really planted around the corners. I was most pleased with them on Druids. In the Red Bull 265 the instructor was telling me to put power down after the first apex and I did try before and the 265 felt very flimsy. In mine I was able to power all the way through it and it felt solid all the way through.

    Also very good at quick change of direction. After the 2nd chicane the quick move to the outside of the track ready for the sharp corner was almost instant.

    However, I haven't had this car on track with the standard springs so its not really a fair test. However I will say that I have no intention of upgrading the suspension to anything else for track use.

    In OEM spec your rear would have been alot more squirmy will. if i wasnt on coilys these would be my first upgrade, seriously.

    Nice mini review Naith/Will sound pretty much spot on for fast road and track work. Not really had much feedback from track users so it's good to hear.
