Can I also ask what is involved with the front fork mod to lower it down a bit?? I did a quick search to no avail.

Thanks guys. Yea where ever I look for replacements there is always two options, as said, depending on chassis number. Ok I will get the early numbered one then and see how it goes. Hey, thank you all for your help. Appreciate it much

Ok thanks. But there is two different ages of springs depending on chassis number?!?

Hi guys. Need some help. Time has come to replace the broken front spring on the ZS180 Suspension I have fitted to my MC2. Now im finding it really difficult to find a replacement for this as there is two different springs to chose from. (depending on MG chassis number) Does anyone know what the differences is between the two?? Or should I just get a front set of 120 springs? Cheers guys

Hey Simpo, just seen the post, you get the leaks fixed?

X2 on that. If both your pipes are getting hot and it's still doing it, and you have double checked for vac leaks, then either the valve is still getting stuck or it just may of had it. From our experience they don't like to be messed with. Another good thing to try is remove the intake pipe, cover the IACV hole in the TB with ur finger and start the motor. if it idles normal (when hot) then you know its the valve.Hope you get it sorted.

Think the MTec discs are on the menu for u then Jamal lol. good stuff

More expensive or less? I have heard about Mintex stuff being good but being that I haven't used them then I can't comment any further than that. Good luck and keep us posted on what u use

Any latest news on the rack mod? Thinking of doing this as my inner rack ends are on there way out.

SWEET. Thanks chap. Yea my mate dave has a carb'd mk2 gold that we have just finished building. Full strip and poly bush ect. Thanks again. :)

Have ya got a post code so I can google map it, it's quite a drive! But I may just do that. can a carb'd mk2 golf come along?

Yup that sound about right. Go for it, u will love it :). One very important bit of advise, DO NOT hard use them until u have done at least 100 miles light use on them, if u bed them in hard it will usualy warp the discs, and trying to skim groved and drilled/dimpled discs is a bloody nightmare!!

I was actually looking at MTec discs. I have not heard much about them so was wondering how good they were. I've got m-tec all round and my mate has them aswell! top quality even better if you get the black edition! X2

Run 50's on my VTi deck on teggy wheels

They are pretty good, i work for honda here in salisbury and we fit them if cust request an upgraded disc . As i said, i have been using them, my mate has them on his mb6. we both use them real heavy too. mine havent cracked yet (as alot of cheap drilled discs do). so 10/10 for the discs. As for the pads, well i have used them in various cars now for 5+ years and have stuck by them. MTec have a new website up now to. Or just give them a call. great value for money.

Hi, all i can recommend is what i use and that is MTec drilled and groved discs all round and EBC greenstuff pads. They are very good from cold and great when hot. no squeel or noises like that and they rarely fade, if not atall. Have been running them for 2 years now and they are not even half worn!!

Last pic was standard suspension and wheels. I know the result pic was on a curb but the height is the same on and off of it

HELL YES it is lol. I didnt think that it would be that different, it is like driving a different car!! . I only started this thread because someone else on here had fitted the same numbers and colours that i have to his car with bad results!! but fitted mine and sh1t bags. LOVE IT. Anyway i will try to get some pics up of it.

update guys. Got the funny numberd zs suspension fitted and WOW. What a difference. Its loads firmer and has lowered it quite a bit. I have taken pics of the suspension difference and a finished pic of it sat on the ground. Will upload them later. So it turned out all a ok for me this time.

Thanks for the input, interesting. It seems that some ppl are using 620's and some are using 370 and 330's. I just cant seem to find any info as to were the 170 and 160's come from!! think im gna have to try it and see!!

Still digging, it's looking like the numbers i have got are from a 1.8 MGZS. not a v6

Thanks Nick BTW.

mmm i will be sending them back if i cant use them!! if i can im gna try to get the refund for the amount of the spring!! Any one else's advise?????

Hi all. Now onto that fresh subject, mgzs 180 suspension. Ok, i have just got a set off of ebay with part numbers RNB000170 and 160 (fronts). Spring colours blue and orange. Now from what i have read on here this set sits high on the front and is no good. Now as i understand the correct numbers are RNB000370 and 330. Not sure on spring colours altho blue and white are said to be the good ones. Good rears as i understand are RPD000120 with blue paint on the springs. I have these with the set i got. So, i do a little digging for all, i call 3 or 4 main MG Rover parts suppliers and also go web hunting and they all say they have no record of the RNB000170 and 160 OR RPD000120 rears, on ANY system. How strange. The numbers they give me for a v6 MGZS are RNB000370 and 330 (fronts). Ok so the question is, What codes/setups are OTHER people using, And also any feedback on good OR bad numbers/setups would be great. Im not sure if im gna be able to use mine as it also arrived with a broken spring at the very bottom of the coils, so am gna have to sort that. But i will be fitting and trying it tomorow. Will update of corse. Chris

Thanks for that info. Think ill go itr then. Theres a few on ebay around 40 quid atm. Thanks again
