philgor Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 hi, i'm looking at lowering my mb1 1.6ls automatic, i don't want to go stupidly low, i only want a small drop, i'm looking at zs 120/180 setup, as i could get the whole lot brand new for about £100/150. should i consider anything else before i go ahead with the zs set up?also which set up should i use if i do use the zs set up, 120 or 180, the car is a mb1 with a d16 engine with an auto box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyricer Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Standard mg zs 180 will sit to high at the front cos diff engine weightBest to mg zs shocks and then lowering springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acivic Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Standard mg zs 180 will sit to high at the front cos diff engine weightBest to mg zs shocks and then lowering springsIm a bit confused...but wouldnt that mean the mg zs shock absorbers would still be too long for lowered springs?I read somewhere the shocks have to be right size to the lowered springs. Can someone clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan.. Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 if you put lowerd springs on shocks not designed for them they will always be pressed down meaning the life spen will be longer. also the ride will be awfulBest bet is to buy a proper kit with matching springs and dampers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 ok so, the zs 180 spring/dampers, would be to much for the front end (too high), so a matched set of zs 120 springs/damper, would be the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
