My tourer sits low at the rear as its on comfort springs, but I load it up for work so it's even lower .

Anyone ever tried these for the Tourer 75, don't know about the MGZT-T if they would be any good.

More expensive but how about these from DMGRS?

According to Rimmers that is for CI Code "RQ" and Colour "Brown." What does the sticker under the rear seat say for your car?

Probably worth having a chat with Mat at DMGRS to discuss & make sure they are the ones you need.

Drawn a blank now. Thanks for everyone's help with possible contacts. Not supplied at DMGRS or Best of British. Most other suppliers now offer a "general " spring that they claim fit both saloon and tourer. Currently fitted are Comfort springs at the rear with are too soft when fully loaded. Will keep looking.

why dont you just change the rear shocks and springs for the rover 75 tourer ones. rimmers will tell you which are best suited for heavy duty ... well at least the nearest you can get. ... rear shocks are shorter on the mg versions anyway. just a thought ...

xsport · 6th July 2021, 14:11

the diesel versions will be longer springs anyway on the 75 tourers and so will the shocks so must be higher ride height. others on here who have tourer 75 models will know for sure if thats correct. if it is then this is the route to go down. once you know what is needed then you can shop around for parts without breaking the bank at rimmers. ...

I had these on my old 75 - they're fine

Nowhere near ZT-T size though, they'll sit a good inch or two too high.
