200 cup worth lowering springs???

[RichW]

Is it worth fitting lowering springs to a 200 cup??

If so, which ones? Was looking to fit KW coilovers but money is alil tight ...

Save for the coilovers. Pure win.

 

[N0ddie]

What Adam says. Thats next on the list for the 200. Got a long way to go before they'll be on though.

 

[Harpham]

Good quality coilovers or nothing tbh.

So are KW v1 going to be worth the investment over standard Cup suspension??

I believe they are softer than the 200 Cup suspension. So depending weather or not you track it will answer your question.

I thought cup sus was around 30nm/cm non cup was 25nm/in and kw's were 50nm/in and H&R coilovers 80ish nm/in?

Might be cm...cant mind lol

I'm sure the 200 Cup suspension is 15% stiffer than the 197 Cup. I'm not too sure on exact numbers and I may be wrong, I'm sure I read somewhere on here that V1s werent as stiff as the 200 Cup suspension.

I stand corrected.

Coilovers will be our next mod. Just need to decide on which ones.

, your welcome to have a shot in mines if you want

 

[N0ddie]

I'd end up buying if I did. Emma wouldnt be too chuffed at that lol.

Still unsure as to what brand or version I wanna go with. I'd like the ubber stiffness that Mark has with his sportline kit, but with the comfort of the KWs.

thank you but when i see 200 standard springs does it mean only the springs or the spring and coilover?
The cup chassis is different only for the spring or also for the shock-absorber?

what about finding the part numbers for the bilstein cup race dampers, you can get them for about £500 for the set!! :w00t:

 

[marshall]

Surely the ones off that storm grey one are up for sale now? He doesnt mention them in his for sale ad?

 

[trailerparktrev]

KWs and comfort? Seriously they are a firmer ride than the Renault cup suspension.
Some mornings when I drive to work I think to myself "why the f*** didn't I buy a 1.2TCe Clio estate with the nice stilt like springs to soak up the bumps??"

I think that there is an error. The 200 normal front i think that it is 195 or similar. There is two much difference compared to the 200 cup. I think that the cup is something like 30% plus front and rear spring compared to 200 normal.
145 is like 36% softer than the 200 cup....
Also in the rear something doesn't work....the cup is only 18% firmer than the normal?

This only to understand better the datas
