Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - SS Suspension

Chaps, does any one have the factory fitted 5 link rear suspension and front up grade again factory fitted. I ask as despite Krazy Horse setting it to it's softest setting, I'm finding it really hard and doing my back in to the extent that the car may have to go, I didn't have any problems with my previous 4 cars with the good old leaf springs, comments much appreciated, the car is a 2019 3.7 ltr V6 roadster in case that is relevant, thank you.

Yes the factory five link 3.7 Roadster uses stiff rear springs to limit roll which causes an over firm ride given you're close to sitting on the back axle. Adjusting the SSL front damping will make little difference therefore and needs to be several clicks above minimum (about halfway) to control front adequately.

The answer are the dual rate rear coil overs offerered by SSL specifically for the factory five link Roadster Reg. These give an initial soft ride then stiffen up on greater suspension movement to limit roll better than OE. Best of both worlds. They also offer adjustable spring pre-load and adjustable gas assisted damping. I've never needed to adjust the spring pre-load on mine as absolutely no issues, even two up with's huge suitcase on the back and full tank, from supplied settings as shown below.

Shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes to fit them yourself Reg. Remove tool tray. Jack up under diff. Then add axle stands each side and a second jack to just take wheel weight on one side then the other which will allow each coil over, one by one, to be unbolted, slid off and replacement fitted.

Yep, as Richard says very straight forward DIY job

Dan at SSL will also deal direct for the parts, so you can avoid dealer mark up

Actually, If you're ever up in Yorkshire, I'll fit them, set the ride height & grease your kingpins for nowt

Jon M, What a very kind offer, don't worry I won't turn up on your doorstep to take you up on it. I am going to K.H. on Friday to have a chat, Dan White is going to be there, in the meantime, I have found a use for a spare Air Wedge that I have, it has been re purposed as an inflatable lumber support so it will be interesting if that helps at all.
