😃MG5 LOWERING SPRINGS😃

[Ian MG5]

Hi all
First of all I would like to thank “Andy b87” for his information
I was going to fit the lowering springs myself but as you all know over the last few week it’s been a bit cold to do this on the driveway
So I took it to my local garage who did the job for me
Then I had the wheels all aligned
The front is lowered by 30mm and the rear 35mm with the kit from eibach £228 delivered
I think the car looks better
The handling has vastly improved
The ride to me seems to be better
Here’s a few photos
Thanks again Andy

Great job, Mine are still patiently waiting to go on along with my new wheels. Nice to see the new height in real life, looks just right.

Slick!

How much was fitting? Did it put your insurance up by much?

 

[Ian MG5]

£150 for fitting
£70 wheel alignment
£31 insurance including admin fee

It's subtle. I don't know that I'm even going to bother telling my insurer, it's not like anyone is even going to know it's any different apart from us lot!

I'm inclined to agree.
Like you say, subtle but very noticeable to us . The top pic looks really high. Particularly the front, looks like it's about to take off!

I think we are going to fit a set to our pfl, we really don't like the ride height currently, also it will make it easier for the dogs to jump in. So next week ots shopping I will go

Sorry Ian I've only just found this post! Looks great mate. Are you still happy with it a few months on? Ride comfort etc. Disappointed you didn't do the work yourself!

I don't know what tyres you're running, but if it's anything like mine, it handles exceptionally well on the Eibach's.

No problem
Once again thanks for the info
The handling is 100% better
I’m running Michelin primacy 3’s; they seem to grip better now it’s lowered
I think the car looks miles better with the lower stance
I would have like to have fitted them myself but a bit too cold in January and I just wanted to get them on
Cheers
Ian
