Any good Performance shop, should be able to supply H&R springs (which in my humble opinion are the best). Also found them on fleabay. 🙂👍

Probably has nothing to do with the geometry, but I’m just wondering by lowering the car, it would have reduced the driveshaft angle from gearbox/ transfer box to the wheel, it might reduce the vibration at speed a lot of Xpower owners complaining about.
Obviously I have no technical knowledge and I was just visualising the driveshafts being more straighter and level, so it might reduce the vibration at speed ??
Regardless it definitely look more purposeful!👍

If it weren’t for the bloody speed humps around my area…

Same, I would get these springs immediately but my road has very recently installed the Square Speed Bumps,

Which were meant to stop lorrys coming down the road (council also narrowed the road),

But this speed bump is in the middle, lorries are so wide, it doesn't affect them, only cars.

Absolute genius council :/

Could you not just drive over the humps to one side, slowly. Agreed though those humps are pain in the @rse.
 
At least one YouTube review mentions MG saying the XPower ride height was chosen deliberately given the way the car (like all cars) drops a bit when accelerating.

Slam it if you like but I'd say there's a risk of sudden inadvertent braking, not to say wheel arch erosion...

Would there be issues with the warranty of the car?

Most certainly for anything directly affected.

Agreed and if anything like VW Golfs this may also include the radar, camera etc.... which used to require recalibration by VW at £200 a pop to remain covered after suspenion changes IIRC.

I'm presuming H&R a very well respected suspension firm, have done there homework and gone into any possible problems, with lowering the X Power, when developing the springs. Again I presume they haven't just slapped any old spring on, off the shelf and said "that'll do"
As for modifications affecting warranty, they probably would, but it's a chance you take, I've modded brand New cars, loads of times and never had any problems and if that's just luck, so be it. I wouldn't be waiting until the car is out of warranty, especially in the MGs case, 7 years, to start modding the car. 🙂👍
