Dont get me wrong but the phase 2 wheels arn't that bad but they just look dated, so i managed to get hold of a set of 172 cup wheels for ebay.They were curbed to buggary and the tyres were bald, so i got them referbished at JP Polishing at Canvey island essex for £170.00 and considering there powdercoated and the condition i thought that was a good price. After 3 months in the shed i managed to save up for a set of Goodyear Eagle F1's 195/45/16R. Well chuffed with the outcome.

I think the standard 172 cup springs might fit and lower it by around 15 mm Originally Posted by richy

You know it
Cup springs only lower it about 10mm at the most i would say. Stiffens the front end right up though
