Can you help with a Suspension question for a 2003 MGZR 160?. I have just taken advantage of the X-Part price reduction on Suspension. Got the OE Dampers set and "Polybush" # 88 Kit. Problem is no Coil Springs about. All the Coil Springs on offer seem to have a 30 mm lowering. Will this work or compromise the handling?. Any advice welcomed, many thanks.

A 30mm drop is minimal on these and that would be fine.
Go for a good make like eibach where you get lifetime warrenty and are tested. Eibach are TUV approved

MANY THANKS FOR THAT. IT'S JUST THE COST OF THIS BRAND IS STEEP COMPARED TO "Apex" and "Spax". Iv'e had this car for seven years and although done lots of other work, the suspension is as bought. It is used regularly on Track Days.

tip from experience, steer well clear of PI springs, they offer 20mm lowering but sag unevenly over time, i agree with the eibach theory!
