Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Plus Six suspension - SSL?

Hello

after 6 years of driving a Roadster 3.7, I made the decision earlier this year to change to a Plus Six.
I‘m still running it in but after the first few tours I‘m now starting to increase the speed (all within the limits, officer). While the suspension is a big improvement for driving in traffic, for spirited road driving the front suspension ( or sway-bar ?) could be softer and the rear suspension feels too soft for me to lean on and underdamped. I understand that this setup should help to increase traction, but I either have to get used to this not so confidence inspiring feeling of the car or consider alternatives. Maybe to early to ask, but has anyone already driven the SSL-Suspension for the Plus Six or even knows the difference in approach or layout?

Regards Markus

I have just had the SSL kit fitted to my Plus Six... what a transformation.

Gone is the wallowy feeling when you go into a fast corner and the front-end used to kind of tip into it, you never really knew whether it was going to grip or understeer and the rear didn't give any clues that it was actually connected to the front!

The car is now a little stiffer but not uncomfortably so, it is confidence inspiring when pressing on enthusiastically and it feels like a proper sportscar rather than a cruiser.

If you are thinking about having it done, just do it, you won't regret it.

& it's adjustable?

So you can tune it to your preference :-)

I ran mine for a few thousand miles before fiddling with mine, so that both me and my suspension had bedded in.

FWIW, I raised the car a smidge to save me from the sleeping policemen that litter the streets around here, and stiffened the dampers a click or two to compensate.

Enjoy!

I also installed the SSL kit on my Plus Six and as Le Ciffre57 says It's day and night. doesn't touch anymore. Steering is more precise. I ride with more confidence. It's a real change in behavior and I highly recommend it to Plus Six owners whose suspension has sagged.

Just a quick update, we undertook several ferry rides last month and toured through France, we had zero grounding issues going on and off the Brittany ferries when fully loaded, and only experienced one slight grounding when going over a very large traffic speed bump in Brittany. Overall I would say that the SSL kit certainly seems to help on the ride height.

ah, but you're not only buying the hardware :-)

You also buy the time, experience and expertise to know what will work on your Morgan, and to tune it to your preferences.
