The new ones now come with different uprights so there is no need for the 'comfort kit ' which was an upgrade for the earlier ones .

Chatted to Stuart Eckersley of Krazy Horse at TOTH about the Empire Kit - which was fitted to his car.
He reckons it transforms the handling - particularly Turn In.
Whilst he would say that - I have to say it looks the business - and Stuart knows what he is talking about!

While traveling way to fast at warp speed on back roads around the country side and over catseyes, there was no bump steer or diviation. A thoroughly enjoyable drive. I am having it fitted to my car.

+1 for the Empire / Krazy Horse steering correction kit. I fitted the original Empire Kit, complete with steering arm risers, to my 2013 car and it transformed it. Following a chassis change last year, the car was rebuilt with standard upper wishbones and new front uprights. I drove it like this for a few miles and it was OK but not as good as it was with the Empire kit. I refitted the Empire kit, less the risers as they were no longer needed, back to near perfect steering. It also allows you to adjust caster and camber. A shame Morgan do not incorporate this suspension correction into the standard chassis and continue to make it wrong.

+1, in theory, since I do not have a car yet.
