thebusofwoe Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hi all.Now onto that fresh subject, mgzs 180 suspension.Ok, i have just got a set off of ebay with part numbers RNB000170 and 160 (fronts). Spring colours blue and orange. Now from what i have read on here this set sits high on the front and is no good.Now as i understand the correct numbers are RNB000370 and 330. Not sure on spring colours altho blue and white are said to be the good ones.Good rears as i understand are RPD000120 with blue paint on the springs. I have these with the set i got.So, i do a little digging for all, i call 3 or 4 main MG Rover parts suppliers and also go web hunting and they all say they have no record of the RNB000170 and 160 OR RPD000120 rears, on ANY system. How strange. The numbers they give me for a v6 MGZS are RNB000370 and 330 (fronts). Ok so the question is, What codes/setups are OTHER people using, And also any feedback on good OR bad numbers/setups would be great. Im not sure if im gna be able to use mine as it also arrived with a broken spring at the very bottom of the coils, so am gna have to sort that. But i will be fitting and trying it tomorow. Will update of corse.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 If the spring is broken send them back. I can't remember part numbers right now, I'll try and remember to have a look tomorrow for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebusofwoe Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Still digging, it's looking like the numbers i have got are from a 1.8 MGZS. not a v6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmZvr Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I have proper ZS180 springs, rears are 000120 - so you have the right rear ones but zs 1.8 and v6 have the same rear springs anyway. My fronts are 000620. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebusofwoe Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Thanks for the input, interesting. It seems that some ppl are using 620's and some are using 370 and 330's. I just cant seem to find any info as to were the 170 and 160's come from!! think im gna have to try it and see!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
