marv Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hi guys, there a a couple of mgzs saloons in a local scrappy to me, they aren't the 180 model though. Does this matter? I was going to enquire on how much they would want for the 4 shocks and rear arb, but just wanting to check that all mgzs suspension is the same.RegardsMartin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brown Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 as you have a MB6 as Tom says you really need the 180 setup, the rears should all be the same but the fronts differ because the 180 would be setup for a heavier v6 engine more similar in weight to our MB6's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Only the 180 shocks are upgraded all round. The 120 has the same shocks as the diesel and they all have different springs iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marv Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Thanks for the input guys!didnt know that.Are all the rear anti roll bars the same?or is it the 180 that's best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Again just the 180 afaik. Around 4mm thicker than the MB6 and better drop links too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmZvr Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I would say the ZS120 suspension would be perfect Nobody on the forum has tried the complete suspension from 120 but I'm sure it will be way better than stock and of course lower.

simpo Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 ^^^ wat makes you think this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brown Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 i am going to try the 120 setup for our MB3 imo as she only had a D15 the 120 will be setup for a lighter engine like mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmZvr Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 ^^^ wat makes you think this? There was a thread which I can't find now in which a member of the forum complained that his front end is sitting higher than the rear. He has MB6 and was using ZS180 suspension. (Then he went ITR springs & shocks and was happy). The front drop on his MB6 with ZS180 was exactly the same as mine when I had ZS180 springs. It's not suppose to look like that, If you look at ZS, front and rear drop is equal. Also when I had ZS180 springs at the front I felt that the front springs didn't compress. I very much doubt that MB6 will need so hard springs. At the moment with ZS120 springs, the front end again is a little bit higher than the rear. My opinion is that MB6 with ZS120 suspension will be perfect. So will somebody try them already and prove me wrong/right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will somebody try them already and prove me wrong/right It would definitely be good if this could be tried out, as far as I'm aware the ZS120 shocks are not uprated or shorter than ours and I would think you would be swapping like for like. I think you're right about the springs though as the weight of the 120 engine and B18 should be fairly close but if I'm right that the 180 shocks are shorter than 120 then the springs will be overcompressed. We need a willing guinea pig to trial different setups and get a definitive answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
