New for MG5 EV

MG5 EV lowering spring kit. After significant customer interest (and a recognition that the stance of the standard MG5 EV is rather high….) we have worked with Eibach to develop a lowering spring kit. This lowers the car 25mm front and rear and provides a more sporting handling balance. The springs have been designed to work with the original equipment struts and dampers. A straightforward and direct replacement for the original springs. Kits now available at £250+VAT. 

New for MG ZR

Replacement front struts and rear dampers (or front and rear shock absorbers) to OE specification have not been available for some time now. MG ZR owners have been faced with a dilemma; fit incorrect new parts, dubious second-hand parts or aftermarket ‘tuning’ parts. We were asked to find a solution, particularly for those wanting to keep their cars on the road in ‘standard’ condition.

After significant research and prototype checks, we have been able to recreate the front struts and rear dampers for MG ZR.  They are manufactured in Europe (by our preferred supplier, Bilstein) to the original MG Rover factory specification, with correct damping forces and the all important front strut rebound spring. They are a direct replacement for the original parts, designed to return your MG ZR back to factory-fresh condition.

Sorry, but front struts and rear dampers are now SOLD OUT. Please contact us if you would like to place an order.

New for MG3

MG3 lowering spring kit. Suitable for all versions of MG3, our lowering spring kit is a set of Eibach springs which lower the car 20mm and provide a more sporting handling balance. They have been designed to work with the original equipment struts and dampers. A straightforward and direct replacement for the original springs. Kits are now in stock at £205+VAT.

MG3 sport kit. NOW AVAILABLE. Our MG3 sports suspension kit uses a set of four Bilstein B14 dampers and tailored Eibach springs, tuned by us specifically for MG3. Ride height is reduced by 20mm front and 15mm rear. The front strut spring seat is also adjustable for ride height optimisation. Carefully selected spring rates provide a more sporting handling balance. The monotube front strut offers a substantial increase in camber stiffness, for improved response and cornering performance. The tuning has been optimised for ultimate road driving; to provide increased agility with the maturity of ride control expected from VHS Ltd. A direct replacement for the original struts, spring and dampers. A set of ‘C’ spanners are included to facilitate spring seat adjustment. We now have this kit in stock at the new price of £795+VAT.

MG3 ride comfort kit. Our MG3 ride improvement kit uses a pair of tailored rear springs and spring aids, tuned by us specifically for MG3. Whilst being endowed with a sporty and agile dynamic performance, the standard MG3 can suffer from jerk disturbance. This can become tiresome, particularly for rear seat passengers. Our kit provides a simple and effective means of improving ride quality, whilst retaining the MG dynamic character. Now available at £152+VAT.

MG3 rear spring aids. As used in our ride comfort kit, these spring aids provide a more subtle contact rate whilst preserving full bump impact protection. Retains the sporty character of your MG3 but improves the ride quality. They are a direct replacement for the original spring aids and a quick/easy fit. Now available at £30+VAT.

New for MG ZS SUV (petrol and EV)

MG ZS SUV dynamic suspension kit.

We have developed a full monotube suspension kit using Bilstein monotube dampers. It provides a much more dynamic proposition with the maturity of ride control expected from VHS Ltd. Please contact us for more details.

MG ZS EV dynamic suspension kit.

Our experience of this car as launched has shown a number of concerns with the dynamic performance. The car tends to pitch, heave and suffer a lack of wheel control; all of which upset passenger comfort and undermine driver confidence. We have developed a solution to provide comfort and confidence by controlling the additional mass of the MG ZS EV. Following feedback from potential customers, we can now offer parts in three stages, with the following effects:

Stage 1:

A pair of Bilstein monotube rear dampers, tuned by us to better control the body mass and to remove the loss of wheel control. Now in stock at £290+VAT per pair.

Stage 2:

A pair of Bilstein monotube front strut assemblies, tuned by us to improve wheel control, reduce roll rate, add steering precision and handling composure. Developed as an addition to stage 1. This has taken some time (thank you for your patience….) but now in stock at £520+VAT per pair.

Stage 3:

A car set of springs manufactured by Eibach which lower the car by 25mm front, 20mm rear to the benefit of stance and frontal area (so a positive benefit to range). Spring rates have been increased to accommodate the lowering and to provide a more agile handling balance. Can be fitted in isolation, but recommended as a complete spring and damper package. Please note that there was a change to the front strut top mount on 30th July 2020, so check before ordering. Spring kits in stock at £250+VAT.

MGTF ride improvement kit from Vehicle Handling Solutions Ltd

The best ride quality is delivered when all of the available wheel travel is used in a progressive but controlled way. To achieve this on MGTF VHS has developed a new damper setting, utilizing a much larger Bilstein damper matched to a new polymer spring aid, to replace the standard hard rubber bump stop. The philosophy has been to retain the vehicle handling via use of the standard springs and anti roll bars whilst improving the ride comfort through better damping. The MGTF is a prime example of a car that has a suspension system suited to high pressure gas charged mono-tube dampers. VHS were well aware that by changing the damper design ride comfort could be significantly improved. Unfortunately high quality, monotube dampers were not factory built on MGTF due to cost considerations (but we did manage to get them fitted onto the 85th anniversary edition!).

The kit utilizes a high quality German made Bilstein damper unit. The damper is of a monotube type construction, meaning that the outer tube forms the working cylinder. This allows a much larger valve area, having a working volume of 100cc compared to the standard MG fitment of 37cc. The monotube design generates compression damping forces from the whole piston area unlike the standard TF units which rely upon the much smaller effective area of the rod. The ride comfort is improved primarily because the same damping forces can be produced at much lower cylinder pressures; in addition improved valve response allows better overall damping control. The effect is analogous with small and large capacity engines of equal power output i.e. they do a similar job but the larger engine is much more relaxed about it. For these reasons MGR used Bilstein dampers on Rover V8, MGZT 260 and MG SV vehicles. The kit has a two year guarantee and the dampers can be fully rebuilt and re-valved if required.

The kit has been developed by ex MG Rover ride and handling engineers using Bilstein UK, state of the art engineering facilities.

Complete Kit £629+VAT.

MGF Body Torsional Stiffness Kit

Is your MGF feeling tired? Are you fed up with squeaks, rattles and the rear view mirror vibrating? Why not try our torsional stiffness kit?

This kit consists of front subframe, centre console and engine bay braces. Each item can be purchased separately. A significant increase in torsional stiffness of the body structure helps to improve the vehicle handling and steering feel. The kit also significantly reduces structural shake and improves the ride refinement by reducing rattles.

Comes complete with all fixings and necessary brackets to fit to a standard MGF bodyshell and full set of instructions.
