yaseen Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Basically what Ive done is used the MG ZS Shocks AND Springs for the rear and have to say Im fine with the rear ride height.Pic was straight after the car was lowered from the trolley jack so might need some time to settle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaseen Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 btw MGZS 180 the V6 car just for reference if anyone needs it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaseen Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think the problem was as weetec said the springs, because when I bought them from DemonTweeks it said they are also for an EK and Im guessing because the rear end is lighter on the EK my car dropped like mad! I think the front was fine because of engine weight etcThank you everyone for your inputs!!! 1"£££$££"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harVTEC Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 You have got MG shocks on the front as well right?harVTECharVTEC its you!!! lolNaa dude, standard shocks on Eibach at the front atm, still need to source some for up front...TBH quite happy with the standard ones on the front, dont want it any lower than that, very practical for me at that height can comfortably go over anything car park ramps, speed bumps etcIt's me haha I was thinking could it not be due to that? Obviously the MG shocks lower about 15-20mm, so adding your springs would mean the back would be dropped 50mm while the front would only be dropped 30mm. That, with your 17s would make the back look seriously low.Glad you got it sorted now though, if it's not the wrong Eibach springs I reckon it's because of standard front shocks.harVTEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
