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

Approximately i think! althought the cup owners might disagree!

we'll get the tape measures out at FCS! (eh Andy!)
G
have you lowered yours??
Yes mate, makes all the diifference over a standard 225,so the cup pack must be a good improvement!
I ve done mine as well i have used the same eibach's as Phil's but i changed the struts to the cup/trophy spec ones which are revalved compaired to the full fat ones.

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.
