I've checked a few online posts and the rear dampers are supposedly all the same for the MG ZS cars but the fronts vary with engine. The ZS180 front damper part numbers are RNB000370, RNB000330 and the springs should have a white stripe down them. The ones I've been sent are part numbers RNB000160 and RNB000170 - no such part numbers on the Rimmerbros site? The springs have blue and orange stripes on them which relate a to a 1.4 or 1.6 K series standard 45 with aircon. Not only are they broken they're probably not even from a 180 - this is getting worse! Can anyone confirm that their ZS180 front springs have white stripes on them?

oh dear,looks like thats what ive got. no wonder they wear quite cheap despite good condition. the front looks higher than standard but the back possibly a bit lower. the ride is very hard and speed bumps make it bouncy like crazy.
