You will be pleased to hear that the springs and shockers are optimised for the Plus 8 Andy, as it is over 100 kgs lighter than the equivalent Aero 8 and thus the poundage of the springs is completely different.

On a separate topic Corsu, the chassis of the Aero and the Plus 8 is the same apart from at the rear, where the Plus 8 chassis is similar to the Series I Aero whose boot was formed in wood, rather than later iterations where the boot supports were aluminum formed. Both the new Aero and the Plus 8 benefit from the new steering based on BMW parts, which I and others, think is a big improvement.
