harVTEC Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Alright everyone,Yet another suspension topic I'm afraid Basically are the shocks on my MB3 the same fitment as the MB6 ones? Reason for asking is I am after a set of MG ZS 180 Shocks to fit the Eibach pro springs for the MB3 too.But don't want to find out the forks or something are different.Thanks in advance for the help, don't know what I'd do without this forum harVTEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Pretty sure all the same mate, Rob (kyekye09) has them on his mc1, Yaseen on his mb4, sure there are others too.Make sure you get the right springs though, MB3 Eibach code is 4019-140.

I was going to have 'shamz' off him because he got sent 4020-140 instead of the MB6 ones.Thanks again.harVTEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 4020-140 are for EJ/EK, worth a try though if they're cheap enough, may be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harVTEC Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Ah right, that's a b****r, don't really want to risk it as I'm guessing the MB and EJ has different spring travel rates due to the weight difference.harVTEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 kyekye09 has 4024-140 on the mgzs180 dampers i think btw around £190-200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaseen Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The numbers on my Eibach Springs are 4015-002The seller gave me EK/EJ springs, bare in mind the front will be cool but the rear will drop down like it did on mineHence Ive got front Eibach with standard shocks and MG ZS 180 rear shocks and springsProgressive front and Linear rear lol sounded risky at first, but it handles so well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
