Surely unless you tend to brake heavily a lot, the brake reaction bars are not really necessary. I'd go for decent adjustable shocks myself.
Interesting that at least one of the SLRs doesn't have brake reaction bars.
It's not so much the braking John but it tightens up the front end and makes steering more precise. It's what I found too and stopped a lot of the nodding.

The reaction bars were the first and most noticeable modification on my 4/4...as is said tightened up the front end and stopped the nodding issue...and only £38...Morgan should fit them from new in my opinion.

I think the ARP4 had them as standard.

Very interesting read.
I am just about to buy a 4/4 80th but keep thinking should I go for a plus4 as the prices are very similar.
Need to decide today as I'm booked at the dealers tomorrow to sign on the dotted line!

Welcome to the Forum, Andyhirst
Have you had the chance to test drive both of them, and could you read some of the threads around in this forum where not only a few members write about exactly this differences between a 4/4 and a Plus 4.
If not, perhaps you can use the day today to make a testdrive with both models at your dealers place?
Just to say I personally am very happy with my choice of a nimble 2014 4/4, but I drove a Plus 4 without mods in 2013 for a short piece of road and in my experience Plus 4 is the more adult car which includes some subtle pros and cons.
To sum up, if the not so easy choice is hard to make in this short time left, perhaps I can help a little bit when I say, don't worry you will not make a huge mistake regardles which of this two models will be yours.
Oh sorry Andyhirst...first i saw the line only where stands "one post" and now I see you are familiar with this place since almost 7 years, Sorry for that again.
So if you already read some of the threads around, think also a bit about the kind of engine. The 4/4 Sigma is one of the last engines you can tune relative easily...and it is the only engine in the whole range of now build Trads, where you hear almost nothing in this forum about any worries, which is really fantastic and I can underwrite it by personal experience after 20.000 miles, no one here on TM has reported internal engine problems or software issues.

Thanks Heinz
First time back for a few years
I have had a 4/4 previously and a 3 wheeler.
I will probably stick with my original decision on the 4/4, i do have a caterham as well to cater for my need for speed!
