Hi Tom
After taking advice from Peter Mulberry I have fitted the revised specification 4 seat rear springs to my 2 seat 2008 +4. I also had the original springs sag, I am delighted with the results, they have been on for 18 months now and have settled to about 3-5mm higher than a new car, I am no lightweight and often carry luggage so perfect for me.
They are not easy to fit, not technical, but physically difficult, if you don't have a trolley jack and axle stands it would be a difficult job I think. Maybe if you took it slow and did it over a few days it would be OK but you do need to get the cars rear up in the air and have some large G clamps handy. An extra pair of hands help as well. I have worked on cars for over 45 years and it's one of a few Morgan jobs I will not do for someone else, that's what I mean about physically difficult, I am too old for this kind of work ;-).
