Hey, has anyone tried to mount this coilover kit on an 8?
Coilover kit Morgan +8

I reckon the coilover kit includes front and rear. Anybody know how rear leaf springs and sliding pillar layout is affected?

Somebody who races a Plus 8 might know. To remove the front springs and take the load through the damper, which is offset, doesn't seem to make much sense to me, but neither would retaining the original springs. At the rear, it would make sense with a trailing arm set up and panhard rod, but to keep the leaf springs - how can it be better?
I would want to try one with that kit fitted before I shelled out that much money!!!

Don't Librands offer a coil over kit for the rear, or is it just a front suspension mod they offer?

Mulfab had their Plus8 at the Gaydon event at the week-end. This is fitted with their front and rear coil suspension which is interesting and no doubt expensive!

The coil overs in the first posting seem confusing......do you still retain the leaf suspension to retain the axle? If so, I just cannot see how the spring rate works!

It's a leading arm set up with a panhard rod if it's what I saw naked at the workshop last year.

I stand corrected although perhaps you should have explained that you built it when you first commented. Though why on earth would they stick a Plus8 badge on the cowl?
