Something that was staring me in the face with your post but only just stood out is that you don't need to buy an aftermarket front sway bar if you wanna soften the front, just buy and fit the smaller trophy one you mentioned

I personally like and have fitted front chrome grille's, some thought they minded them too much of a ford focus/fiesta but I think they suit the car very well

I'm a massive fan of the pilot sport series, always had the 4's and moved on to the 5's when they were released on my modded Mazda 3. I recently had to replace the rears due to a puncture on the sidewall so opted for the primacy 4+ as my mg4 trophy is my daily runner now and my missus has...

I'm definitely not part of the fussy pedantic gang but what you're saying isn't 100% correct, please don't think I'm trying to initiate a confrontation. Most mild drop springs (30mm or less) will indeed be fine with your OEM struts and shocks but any more will run the risk of hitting the bump...

A common mistake with suspension upgrades are not matching the spring rates with the dampning and rebound of the shocks and struts. Also people don't loosen and re tighten all the suspension components with rubber bushings with the weight on wheels resulting in pre load on them which contributes...

Was gonna mention weights but didn't have any figures to be accurate. Also wasn't sure if the weight of the extra motor was kinda equal to the bigger battery difference of the extended range

If that's the case then the only difference in times will be dictated by the individual accelerator pedal delays in each driving mode

Probably very similar to the extended range as I believe they share the same rear motor.

Are they the same tyres on the X power that they're putting on the trophy?

When you've got a proper hot hatch like the gr Yaris that costs less but has critically acclaimed handling then the X power is up against it. It's great that the x power is so cheap but they'd do well on the phase 2 version, probably 6 months away with MG's current marketing policy, to put some...

So pretty much what the Americans have been doing for years, creating muscle cars that go crazy fast in straight lines but are horrendous on tarmac like our rural b roads

Yeah changing the shocks struts and springs can give a harsher but more planted feel, depends on your preference. Switching out the roll bar though is more about altering the balance between the front and rear axles, it helps reduce body roll & understeer. I've always prefer the back to step out...

It looks like interesting times for modders as I reckon all that new suspension gear will be an easy swap out for the regular models. I'd be particularly interested in the stiffer roll bars as it made a great difference changing the rear one on my Mazda 3
