Title: Does the MV6 have different springs to others?
Post by: Yoxubarl on 05 June 2007, 23:50:15
As the title says, really.. does anyone happen to know if the MV6 has different springs to the majority of other Omega models, please? I remember something about some part of the suspension being the only difference, lowered and whatnot, but is that the springs, shocks, something else or none of the above? I also remember hearing something about there being LP and LQ springs, with the latter being for Sport models, the former being for the rest.
I'm just curious from having the springs replaced with motor factor parts to the sounds of "Oh, we do these all the time" from the garage, when the factors told me that they only had one type of spring.

Thank you! :)

:DI think MV6's are a little lower & firmer than your average Mig. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

The MV6 is 'lower and stiffer', i believe it is done by different shocks, not springs.

Yes, its done via the shocks unless its a facelift model in which case there is a spring difference to.....

As M_DTM says, prefacelift MV6 have normal springs, lowering is done by shocks....
