Hi guys I need a little help.

Time has come where I think I need to replace my Suspension all round, are there any recommended Suspension upgrades.

I’m not a sporty driver and nor do I drive fast, I would just like something that makes the car handle a little better then it dose because the suspension which I am using is the original factory fitted which now has done its life shall I say.

I also need some new head lamp units. Are there any breakers in the east London area? If so where are they located?

All help is much appreciated many thanks guys.

Could try the MV6 suspension. If you need parts then have a look in the parts section on here. Lots being broken, so you should be able to get what you are looking for.

urm could look at www.europerformance.co.uk - they're like sports/fastroad sus. though

Hi there guys appreciate all the help guys.

So where can I get the mv6 kit from and how much are they normally and how do i know if they are charging me too much?

Chris I am interested in the head lights need a pair asap really because its come to a stage where I cant see at night time so the car is only been driven during the daytime. Chris how much for the lights and would they fit accurately to my model, its  a N Reg??

Cheers guys

Yes mate, straight swap and very easy to do...will pm you details...and yes will have an MV6 next week so could also sell you the shocks from it if interested (assuming they are decent when I get it)

do you just like to buy mv6's and break em for spares ?

[MutantCav]

I think the MV6 is over rated...as apart from the shocks and recaro leather there is nothing special about them at all...

[ngrainqey]

well.. i got the 2.0 cause the insurance is too much on the v6 atm :S
i quite fancy the mv6 alloys
the swimmin pool rubber rings (205/65/15's) are ok for comfort but i dont like too much sidewall
and i didnt want the 8v cause i like power
single wheel burnouts in the wet onto a roundabout or gettin sideways comin off em are fun

Hi
For what its worth I changed the suspension on my 2.6 V6 estate and fitted irmscher Springs and Shockers. I also replaced the front wishbones, which incuding bushes as the car had done 135K miles. It all sharpened the car up rearly nicely, and dropped the rear end a tad as well.
