Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Plus4 GDI and Spax dampers?

Just „working“ at the rear and with the german MOT/TÜV in sight I think also about new dampers.

So far I see in Germany there are „only“ adjustable SPAX available.

KONIs are only up to 1990models, KW suspension - not so deep pockets (more than 2000,-EUR).

So I‘m interested about some expierence. I found here a lot about the WOLF dampers and AVOs, but nothing about SPAX.

Hi René,

I have Spax dampers all round and am very happy with them.

I wanted a softer ride so have mine set to 12, 1 being the softest setting and 28 the hardest. I go to 16 at the rear when touring with a big case strapped to the back.

They are easy to adjust, the knob can be accessed without removing the wheels or lifting the car.

When they were fitted I also had new tyres and brake reaction bars which transformed the ride and handling.

Regards

Try here fo Spax gas assist adjustable rear shocks René.

Rene - Here with you in Germany.

Sorry if that is a repeat for you.

;-) I know. Just ordered.

I too have Spax adjustable dampers all round. When setting them I followed the Spax instructions and started with a low setting maybe four clicks in. I then drove a few miles and increased (front ones in this case) and repeated all the time checking ride comfort and nodding of the bonnet. At around twelve clicks in (out of 28) the nodding stopped and you could feel dampers doing their job. It was like a sweet spot had suddenly been found. Surprisingly to me despite the firmness I found the car was riding bumps in a more comfortable manner. I backed off a click as recommended and called it a day

René, you may have difficulty setting yours when you get them. This due lack of bumpy pot holed roads in Germany. Over here we are so lucky to have them everywhere

For axle stands the front is easy - under the lower cross tubes each side. For the rear I would suggest under the ends of rear seat cross member forward of rear wheels.

Look at this for some tasty engineering (known as "spring assisters"). Easy to fit and really do make a difference

No you’re not the only one Richard!

Sir P

One more try using a different image hosting provider, they're coming out smaller than I'd like but they're definitely visible to me when I preview this post.



















Hope you can see then now, although what they show should not be unfamiliar to us all.

It's a Morgan John, consistent and precise suspension performance is just a dream
