bepilot Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 you can use eg/ek and dc2's but there not set up for the weight of the carMeisterR gives a std spring rate for our MB/MC too, and IMO this is too soft indeed for our 'heavier' cars. I was expecting something harsher, otherwise I would have bought a "lowering springs + new shockabsorbers" kit.I'm hesitating to contact him about this, first have to fit the MG ZS ARB on the rear on my deck to fully complement my feelings. I've set 1cm preload on the springs and hardness is set @ 27 clicks in front (from the 32 available, if i do more it jumps around so 27 is the limit for me atm for everyday use)... I've set 20 clicks in the back, but I'm still in testing-phase by increasing the clicks bit by bit, to check the 'jumpiness' limit.I should also check if a possible 10/8 change doesn't affect comfort in a very bad way too...Bear in mind my testing is done with OEM type tire ie 195/55/15, a quite comfy tire when we talk about aspect ratio and a lowering of about 30mm, not excessive at all. Maybe I should lower much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngreen537 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Can't you adjust the damper stiffness to the max and add a bit more preload on the springs? THat should stiffen things up a bit. If it were me, I'd start at the hardest, lowest and stiffest, then gradually soften it up till it's useable on a road...I've only heard good things about Meister too, so may be worth a call to him to double check stuff!
