May have been asked before, but has anyone got information on a suspension upgrade for the Plus Four? I note Lebrands do coilover shocks for the Plus Six. I find the suspension of my Plus Four bouncy (as it is light) and it crashes a bit over potholes & bumps. I suppose any upgrade would invalidate the warranty. A friend has just had a dealer quote of £3600 to supply and fit the new Nitron suspension (don't know if it includes the anti-roll bar) per the factory option for new P4 cars. Sounds expensive but may be worth it. Personally, I would want to drive mine then a new one back-to-back on the same test route before making that sort of commitment. It may be worthwhile if intending to stick with the existing car for a good few years, similarly the Crazy Horse stage 3 tune. Probably better value for money that changing the car and suffering further significant asset depreciation. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2024/10/08/IMG_2260.jpeg) So 2990 GBP by Williams, I think (hope) the anti-roll bar is included in that price.......

Hi Ruut,
where did the photo with the offer for the upgrade from Williems come from?

So 2990 GBP by Williams, I think (hope) the anti-roll bar is included in that price....... I was told by Dan at Morgan that the ARB could only be fitted to the latest model due to chassis changes. Only the shocks/springs can be upgraded to the Nitrons on the earlier Plus Fours.

Only the shocks/springs can be upgraded to the Nitrons on the earlier Plus Fours. That makes it even less attractive. As an option from the factory incl ARB it is around 2000 GBP. So this 3000 GBP is very stiff. It means that the PlusFour from Spencer Bentley (Dales_Plus_Four), who is very positive about his upgrade, also doesn't has the ARB......! Let's ask him. I will post something on Instagram, what is pref his medium!

Good idea Ruut and do let us know his opinion. I still think it would be worth doing even without the ARB - the standard shocks are not the best and the Nitrons could potentially transform the car for those who like to press on. That and a remap would be pretty handy I reckon.

Just read Miscellany and the Williams advert is interesting - 8’ wide wheels feel the arch!!
Just curious:
1) Where will I be able to buy 8’ wide tyres?
2) Is feeling the arch quite legal in 2024?

They also talk of a Plus four ECU reflash but in reality don't have a product yet.
