Mg zt shocks and springs
Hi,
I'm thinking of doing a refurb on the suspension and wondered if anyone knows a good place to buy shocks and springs and other related parts mounts and bearings and drop links. I've looked at rimmers and dmgrs for original parts but wanted to know if any other aftermarket parts are available? I can find kilen springs easy enough just the shocks seem a problem!

Moto-Build do an uprated lowering spring set for ZTs.
I have recently fitted their ZTT springs to mine...

Nice! Looks good.. Do they also make shocks? Or do I just get normal mg ones? Do you find it quite harsh compared to oem?

We just don't have springs - but pretty much everything else!

Ride wise it actually seems a lot smoother but before I changed the springs out one of the rears had snapped along with a totally empty of fluid shock so I guess that the ride would be better lol. I have 225/40 tyres on mine which are terrible and make the ride less comfortable so at some point I will be changing the tyres to 225/45s.
