How low is your MX?
Hey everyone I've seen on a few other forums people listing their suspension setups. I thought it would be interesting for everyone to list the details of their suspension for others to see and compare if they are considering changing their set ups, or lowering their cars.
Heres mine..
Model MX - 1990 NA
Front Springs - King Springs
Front Struts - KYB Non Adj
Rear Springs - German Hot Bits
Rear Struts - KYB Non Adj
Front Sway bar - Whiteline Non Adj
Rear Sway bar - Whiteline Non Adj
Ride heights (from the ground to the top of the wheel arches)
Front - 580mm
Rear - 600mm
Rolled guards? - Front only
And a picture -
