Facelift MV6 Rear Springs
« on: 01 June 2010, 20:30:41 »
I know prefacelifts have the same springs across the range, and the shocks differ....

Any good recommendations for facelift mv6 springs, iirc they are different?

Should add that you should be able to find two ID letters on the springs.

worth checking trade club web site, you need 2000 on lowered sports chassis, almost a sensable price on tc for saloon, not sure on estate.

note, i did say "almost" a sensable price. :(

that is for a pair, no single springs listed, only front or rear axle sets.
kyb dont do lowered sports chassis.

Aftermarket i guess your looking at all four, and will probably be 30 mill drop from stock, so 15mill lower than yours, plus set up again, esp. if your doing the fronts.

Not sure set up is needed for the rear if re fitting the same springs......is it? dont think i'd bother myself tbh.

So vx on tc would be cheapest by the looks?
