MG4 Bodykits & suspension

[KMC]

Nobody modifies vehicles like the Taiwanese!
WARNING : Turn the volume off, eyes only for this.
Note the ride height, wheel spacers etc. I thought I had “modified “ my xpower until I saw this !


Now interested in finding a suspension/handling company to improve my x power without ruining the ride (if possible)

Like that, but without the stickers/graphics.

Funnily enough I had that explained to me when working in Hong Kong & Taiwan. Because there is zero welfare system over there “if you dont earn you dont eat” which is why theyre all over everything. The only AD free space is the pavement

Already on it m8
Chap up country (Wales) is getting back to me reference a full kit of springs and dampers from Ze Germans.

He doesn't recommend the lowering springs that are already available.

He owns 'Tuned'

Tuned UK - Google Search

One for the better half? You could have His and Hers.

He wouldn't though, would he.

Imagine being left for dead in your super car at the lights, by that though.

You say that m8, but I did have a convo with him about them.
This is what he does day in, day out, and I reckon a matched set of springs and dampers are deffo the way to go.
Especially with the potential on board.

TBH, I will probably wait even if they were ready next week.

To cloud the already seemingly impossible to put right vibe issue might put me at a disadvantage with MG.
Not happening.

Had a look a his website, have to say it looks very impressive. Keep us up to date with your progress.

Well the passengers certainly would be.

Looking at his site the guy obviously knows his beans but if he's referring to the H&R springs being bad I'd be a little surprised. They are German anyway and have a great reputation for premium quality springs and would be miffed if they developed springs for the mg4 where the spring rates don't marry up with the dampers. I'm a member on the Mazda 3 revolution site and we're heavily into tuning and modding our cars on there and haven't heard any negative comments re H&R. Tuned appear to be a quality tuning shop but don't manufacture their own components or appear to offer the service to adjust the pressures in the shocks & struts either so if a complete spring, shocks & struts kit come to market ( or even better a coil over kit ) you could fit them yourself.

If you wanna keep the comfort but reduce body roll I'd be seeking beefier front and rear sway/anti roll bars first

I did think about that to be honest. Not sure where to look/ask though? Ive been used to cars being equipped & handling well so not up on “modifications”

 

[salty]

Very much doubt anyone is making sway/anti-roll bars for the X Power, yet anyway. The only thing I know are available now, are lowering springs.

It's quite easy for us mere mortals with regular mg4's as we can retrofit the uprated x power suspension parts but as you've already got the x power it's a case of waiting for the aftermarket suspension companies to develop and release products which will come. Does the X power have a tendency to oversteer like our cars?
