Next on my ZS will be lowering and bigger brake disks.
I have new rims since one month. The are 17" band the tyre measurement is 215/40 so overall diameter is smaller.

I also want the bigger disks as the original ones look ridiculousely small behind the spokes :confused:

what will you chose for the lowering?

MGPete 20-09-07 12:19 PM

Dunno yet.
Was thinking about the Xpowers, but the might be too green under the car ;-)

Been told that Eibachs are used by MG-Rover too. So might have a look at those too !?

sduk 20-09-07 12:26 PM

what sort of drop are you after? i have fancied lowering springs but dont want to sacrifice ride comfort.

MGPete 20-09-07 12:31 PM

Me neither.
I'm thinking of 2 centimeters.

I've told that the Eibach's don't give in much on the comfort. As we all know, the Zed's pretty stiff of itself :-)

im loathed to drop mine, after bone shaking suspension in my old zr im loving the fantastic suspension in the zs. IMO is like a magic carpet ride compared to the zr on avos. I would be scared to ruin a fantastic setup just for looks.

MGPete 20-09-07 03:27 PM

Same here.
First bigger brake disks. Will think about lowering later. Still have to save for it tho ;-)

Robstar 20-09-07 03:37 PM

Well Pipercross Viper enclosed induction kit is next. Cant wait heheh

Don't forget the 52mm throttlebody after that, Robstar. Only then you will get the best results from your Viper, as the smaller 48mm TB will be the bottleneck for the improves airflow of the Viper.

I have the MG xpower eibach springs on my 180, not a lot of diffrence comfort wise, car sits a bit lower,handles better and depending on the wheels you have you don't see the colour of them and after a few thousand miles they will be that dirty you probably see the colour of them anyway.
