I can't make any comment about the CX PlusFour but I am a fan of Peter and Dan's work. It certainly improved my trad Plus Four.

The thing I do find interesting is the number of different comments about the CX PlusFour suspension. It almost seems that there is no consistency to what is fitted at the factory. In my case, in 2012, what was fitted was a mess.
The car suffered from day one from the horrible sagging rear springs. I should not have accepted delivery (I was at the factory) and back in Italy they were eventually changed under warranty for the older 5 leaf springs, but that made the rear very hard. The front springs turned out to be Roadster springs and they too were changed under warranty, but were still not satisfactory.

In the end I got to know Peter Ballard and was a fairly early adopter of the improved front suspension system and, as soon as it was available, the rear 5 link suspension. Within the obvious limits of the trad chassis they both work well.
