zt struts on 75

[xantiaman]

hi all
will zt struts from a 03 plate 180 fit onto my 1.8 75 connie,i only ask as i want to lower the front end slightly and i believe this will lower it 20mm.thanks

Yes they will. A straight swap. I've got the ZT190 set up under my 75.

Might be worth fitting ZT springs on the back to keep the drop and handling even.

Yes they will. A straight swap. I've got the ZT190 set up under my 75.

Hiya. Does it alter the comfort of the 75 at all.? Poppy

[tsautos]

Yes it will, but should handle more keenly.

Hiya Terry...hey....:):):):cool:..How much is bumpier do you think it will be then.... Love my comfort.. Would hate to compromise just for looks... lol. Poppy

Hiya. Does it alter the comfort of the 75 at all.? Poppythese were used as part as a project that mark did to improve the braking on his car,the 190 uses bigger discs.

Hiya Pab. Oh right......So it would just be cosmetic then really.... But not as comfortable...:shrug: Poppy

The suspension was changed because the standard 75 set up is, let's face it, a bit on the soft side when driven "enthusiastically".:D

The ride is firmer but as all the ZT pilots on here will tell you, not uncomfortable by any means.

[xantiaman]

will any zt model strutts fit?and is it a straight swap? thanks

[mark_bonsai]

As long as they're not off a V8, then yes.

This is something i was thinking of doing on my conni tourer. Would you not need to swap the springs as well, surely its the springs that determine the ride height not the damper!:confused:
Which suspension setup would be a straight swap? I assume the MG tourer would fit but are the saloon rears the same?
