just 1 question why would you want to put different springs if you have a cup pack fitted????

They are the same springs as the cup pack(eibach), if you want any different you'd have to go down the coilover route

Yes mate, makes all the diifference over a standard 225,so the cup pack must be a good improvement!

if you got one or getting one with a cup pack you cant lower it matey, as the springs from k-tec will only fit a full fat 225 to lower it to a cup ride height.

so in short you can not lower a cup any lower.
