NIKH25 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I always thought it was only the 180's that were uprated, never seen a 120 and 180 parked next to each other so can't say for sure. If you look at the whole thread that post comes from the next post says they are different Quote: "Shocks are different too! A little more comfortable on the 120." Colour me confused. If they are the same won't they have the same part no.s?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After browsing rimmerbros:Rear shocks on ZS120(1.6, 1.8 engines) and ZS180 (2.5 engine) have the same part number RPD000280.Front shocks have different part numbers RNB000360 and RNB000370Rear springs are the same RKB000390.Front springs are different.So that sounds very strange, they only changed the front shocks ?

Krzys Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Wow, reading all this is more confusing than when I was first talking in Honda chassis codes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Well after scrutinising and comparing part numbers and part images the simple answer is... 120/180 shocks aren't available from any of our suppliers!I did think MB6 shocks with some eibach 30mm springs perhaps but as it turns out they have the same shocks as my MB3...It's becoming a real pain in the snail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quit.. I see what you mean, 180 shocks also have same part numbers as diesel and right hand shocks no longer available, plenty of lefts though. I assume that when people have had trouble with these on Hondas, they must have been given a set from a 120.

Just need to take some photos and figure out how to send them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 What age/condition is it all in bud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I don't know the age of them but in good condition, the only worry would be they had started to squeak a little, probably the top mounts can't think of anything else it could be, and you could swap yours in. I'll get some photos over the weekend and pop them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Seems near impossible to find a full set of brand new ZS shock absorbers to go with the Eibach lowering springs I'm looking to buy...!Any other uprated shock absorber options for the MB's?
