weetec Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 for now im sticking to standard set-up at the moment...its great to fly over speed bumps and pot-holes...looks is one thing but comfort is another. if in future i come across a set of tein or eibach springs i may change my mind, but i personally think the jamex are a budget spring...definetly cant argue with the cost compared to eibach ..i am worried they may ruin the dampers. cheers guys for the info... 1"£££$££" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasons Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 sent you link 35mm for 180 mgzs lowers 35mm motor- build- racing 139£ on ebaybut have herd just toooo stiff same as mg/dc the washers go on inside to inner wingwould post link for all but will be shot sorry, thought you meant camber arms.yes, jamex are budget.I inquired about motobuild springs, but he couldn't tell me the lb/rates, other than they are 25% or so stiffer. they are not manufactured by motobuild, but by another spring manufacturer - can't remember now, but did find out.as long as your damping is well matched to the spring rates, it can be both firm and comfy - a good example is the bmw 535d m sport, a heavy diesel motor with 2 turbos, yet a solid suspension that doesn't roll, yes it is stiff, but a true inter-continent mile cruncher (I know, I own one, and toured europe effortlessly in a similar 530d which didn't break a sweat at 150mph, another firm car, both with runfalt tyres which have no give in the sidewalls at all.)If you have the cash,adjustable dampers are the best way to go with stiffer springs, you can probably go a lot stiffer and still not compromise too much on ride if the bump/rebound is set correctly to match the spring rates.

noodels Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 ps they do a 35 and 20mm for mgz180 at motor build racing sent you the linktaking mgzs 25 lower shocks set up.also, as you say above on 17s the looks and rubbing issues are fine on standard mg with 17s dont know about 35/20 mm drop would mean +60mm 45 max thats Very low!!!! With mgzs180 with the lowering springs if that makes any sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
