WilkesyMB6 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 My car had its MOT last week and there were a few advisories on my geometry.Since changing from 17's down to 15's on 50 profiles it has dropped the car a lot more than i thought due to my deep skirts. I love the look of it that low, but me and my girlfriend go camping a lot and it’s just too low, and renting a car every time is too much! I don’t want to get coilovers unless they are Meister ones but i can’t justify spending £600-700 on them So i was thinking of changing just my springs, but they can add up to over a £100. So i thought i would get some MGZS 180 ones, as they are stiffer and probably newer due to the ages of the cars, and also lower that standard. I think i need to change some of my bushes and also track rod ends also.My questions are has anyone got any for sale? Has anyone got them on their car with 15's and a pic of the drop?I think they are a direct fit, apart from the strut and the spring do i need anything else? I.e. top mounts? Different bolts etc?As it will all be off i will probably also change my ARB for a 180 one, so i wont have to replace the current drop links as they come with new improved ones?Anything else I will need to look out for?
