E=MC2 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi guysI im in process of finding easiest an chipest solution for efficient dropping down. I could buy only set of springs, but my rear shocks are dead, and even if they arent, it is good to install some stiffer shocks.Friend of mine is giving me as a gift brand new set of Civic EG6 skunk 2 shocks (http://store.skunk2.com/suspension-tuni ... ks-71.html) without springs and bump stops, so it would be best option for me to use them for aftermarket set, and to buy some Koni, Eibach.... set of springs designed for Aerodeck. Are EG Civic rear shocks shorter than mine, and what would i get if i screw them on a car.Which Honda shocks or coilovers i can mount on my car? Or MG ZS complete set if it fitsPlease help, i cannot find and afford coilover set for my deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 will need to compare rod length mate no but as above travel compressed & extended,pearch position may have to mod bottom fork,think are shorter tbh and if so will make springs a nightmare to match,also a point is the type of damper,is it compatable to front damping ect..in a word carefull with this aproach 4 dampers the same are better by faafafarrrrrrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E=MC2 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 after some reading, i saw that mgzs180 suspension and bars do great jobwill MG-s springs lower the car, or you recomend to buy some aftermarket set?and because i am not from uk, and its dificult here to find any rover on junk yard, not to mention ZS180, do anyone of you knows where to find ZS180 shocks and bars, and for which amount of moneyshipping to here is not the problem, my only problem is to find suspensionany information is priceless, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E=MC2 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 ok, i saw yesterday that there can be found some parts, but if you hear for some parts not on ebay, please do tellwhat is gain on handling and ride hight with these combinations1. zs shocks, springs and honda arb (chipest, and easiest to find and built)2. zs shocks, eibach or koni springs and honda arb3. zs shocks, springs and mg zs arb4. zs shocks, eibach or koni springs and mg zs arbmeny people here say only nice words for mg shocks, but i would like to know is the first combination enough to lower the car and make it perform apexes much better, or you warmly recomend combinations 2, 3, and 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Personally, I would recommend option 4 with Eibach springs as this is what I have a few others on here also have this combo.MGZS shocks and springs alone will lower the car approx 15-20mm.On mine the MG shocks with Eibach (-40mm) springs have dropped the car 55mm.The MGZS arb is 3or4mm thicker than the Honda one and stiffens up the back end a treat, a must have upgrade.My car:MG arb (right) vs Honda:http://www.civic5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=7793 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E=MC2 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 thanks man if its 15-20mm i am good with that, at least for the cheap start . allso 55 is a bit low for ocasional tow car how does stock zs shocks and springs perform cornering?

WilkesyMB6 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I think the arb is 2mm thicker but its links that probably make the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Not sure how the stock mgzs set up performs tbh, as I put the Eibachs straight on but you can be sure it will be a massive improvement over the Honda stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I think the arb is 2mm thicker but its links that probably make the difference.Thought it was thicker than that but yes links are much much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
