jamal Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 HiI am looking for good coilovers or aftermarket springs shocks combo that will fit mb6 vti-s with least modification required. I have no preference to coilovers just want something which will give good n comfortable ride on some bumpy roads with abt 40 lowered front n back. I know coilovers can be really expensive and thats why I want to ask if anyone knows any good aftermarket spring shocks which are cheaper than coilovers. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Koni STR.T (non adjustable version of the sport) is widely rated as a matched spring shock combo, cheaper than coilovers. Plenty of cars on here have them, have a look through the showroom section. MG ZS suspension also popular mod to the MB6 (better ride and a bit lower).

Managed to find the whole kit for round abt £300 which is not bad. It lowers both front and back by 35mm. Right now I have 40mm good springs on standard shocks and I've had them like that for over a year and the ride is horrible especially when you have to go over rough roads. Will this improve the ride by a lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if koni did 40mm springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 I just found out that Koni STR.T does not work correctly on the 1.8 VTi model, as far as I understand the vehicle lowers too much on the front and is dramatically softer than the standard suspension set up so has an adverse effect on the vehicles handling.Anyone else know anything about this?

noodels Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 i have read issues with the fronts on koni you need spacers made, weetec"s topic is worth looking at regarding spring damper setups for mb6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
