Good morning guys,
O.K. Here’s what I’m considering ordering from Suspension Supplies in the UK
1. SSL 5L Morgan rear suspension upgrade.
2. SSL RS front suspension upgrade.
Does anyone know if these parts will fit my 2003 plus 8?

Yes, but best to message Dan first to make sure the brackets for the rear kit are sent for your specific year as there have been a few mods / tweaks to the kit as it's evolved over the years

Richard, I recall your fitter initially made a poor job of installing the front RS kit late last year, appearing to have not read the fitting instructions at all! Did you manage to get this sorted as per advice on this thread?

This is great!
I’ve already messaged Dan but haven’t heard back yet.
Bearings too! I didn’t see the bearings on Dan’s site. Thought I would have to order them separately. This is great news.
Thanks guys!
Maybe my wife will ride with me again. She loves the car but hates the hard ride.

Richard: my wife similarly encouraged me to find a way to soften the ride on our 2009 Roadster. I had the front SSL installed in 2021 but after a lot of discussion (including with the excellent chaps at SSL), last year I decided against the rear conversion. Reasons: skill level way above my pay grade, and cost is not inconsiderable. I did however fit the "Roger's bump stops", there are lots of references on TM, but e.g. https://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/621652/re-rogers-bump-stops. Simple-ish job, with significant comfort gain at affordable cost.

Richard,
No, I never got it right. I’ve spent in excess of $1,500 trying to get it sorted. It’s a disaster. I think the original installer left out something or it was defective to begin with. Let’s start over. I have a good mechanic now, so I’m hoping we get it right this time!
