mg rear springs

humptynumpty · 19th February 2017, 12:44

im in need of correct rear springs and im wondering if they were same for all models like ebay is listing and i dont think they were and if not has anyone ever fitted UNIPART GRS275744 because mine is a saloon and had tourer fitted and i changed them for what i now believe was aftermarket 75 springs because the gap at back is much higher than at front

just checked ones i removed from car suplex 28155 on them and orange paint so on website it shows all car fitments for ROVER 75 TOURER not mg zt saloon and ones i replaced them with had no paint on at all so i think are aftermarket 75
aswell

As already said, my MG ZT 190 is 3 inch back and front, dont know if that's normal ,sounds perhaps your fronts are low if they are 2 inch gap, dont know if the ones here have been renewed but are 3 inch back and front .

Between the tyre & arch?

I'd say that's a big gap for a zt maybe springs been changed for 75 ones or generic aftermarket ones.

zedhed had a set of springs he bought that he bought for 1.8t saloon but add says they fit all zt saloons, he was kind enough to measure his springs and they were 240mm high, i know mine are probably rover 75 tourer and are 272mm aprox so would the 240mm ones be for all models like advertised and if so why did rover/mg have so many combinations
