172 spring are the same as williams springs.

172 cup springs are different, they are slighltly shorter and a higher lb's. they are also different to look at, .... less coils in the spring.

ps i havent noticed much difference between my old williams springs and cup springs.

They are identical, but 172 ones are more readily available second hand and have usually done less mileage.

well it doesnt feel as tight as the AVOs did but, it feels pretty good and it doesnt scrape on things so its all good for me.

I believe edde has said they lower between 2 and 7mm, depending on what the factory were doing that day LoL
