Im looking to lower the Trophy 10mm all around with a set of Eibach pro lowering springs, however, I cant find any on the internet, I saw a set on K-Tec which lowered the 182cup 20mm on the front and 15mm on the back, am I right in saying this would lower the trophy 10mm on the front and 5mm at the back, due to the trophy being 10mm lower than the cup. There no good anyways due to only lowering the back 5mm.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
I wish I knew a decent suspension Specialist in the Northwest,

Do you think this will improve the handling slightly or should i not mess with what is already a very good set-up?

it'll have no effect on handling on the road other you hitting the bump stops easier - when you hit the limits on track you'll notice a difference.

Remember that Reno spent a fortune setting up the suspension on the trophy, is it purely for cosmetic reasons?

I thought the Trophy was only lowered 10mm at the front and nothing at the back. Not sure though. That would mean a 10mm drop at the front and 15 at the back.

All the reviews ive read about the trophy say its lowered 10mm further compared to the cup and doesnt state this is front, back or both. I assumed both. Anyone Know?

I'm loving that article, I can remember reading it when I was still dreaming of owning one, but it wasn't my magazine so I haven't got a copy. Cheers for the link.

if you want it lowered but to handle better too then do what 7Mat has done and go and see Mark Fish.....Matt's both looks better and handles better too.

I for one will be leaving mine alone with the recent purchase of a kit car im perfectly happy with the trophy's handling and zero compromise balance!

Just had a think about this but I can't remember if the Spring are prolines or sportines in the first place.
