Just took the Zed out for its first proper spin on the Xpower springs and all i can say is Wow!!!

theyve totally transformed the steering and how tight it is on the roads and around corners at one point i was turning into corners and the car was that grippy i was falling out my seat lol......

took some scenic piccys along the way just because id like to see against other photos to see if it looked lower

Oppnions welcome as always

I was a little disapointed at the very little drop the Xpower springs gave.
Then BIG GRINof happiness like a little kid when I felt how different the handling had become,loads of roundabouts where I live so I found out I love my MG a little bit more than before, springs will drop a little more in a few weeks Bud then get your tracking done.
Your Car is looking really good Tim.

its dropped mine signifacantly as opposed to the standard springs i recon anyways

I agree with the handling its a tottaly different car as before id be scared to go into some corners quick but now i just fly through them its mucho fun

love to have a go in a 180 with them on i bet thats Epic

yip the drop is significant - Agreed - but I was expecting a drop the same as Grimmy's 180 as he has Xpower springs too,
not much in it TBH but side by side his is noticeably lower.
Mind you he is a bit more chunkier than me so his has had more forced settlement. haha.

lol, a little harsh!! He might be putting that XPower gift to good use, that might give the springs a good workout :P
