Based on feedback from owners who had covered thousands of road miles, SSL carried out a dynamic analysis of the suspension system of the Morgan Aero 8 (Series 2- 5) and the Morgan Plus 8 (BMW engined from 2012). From this, they calculated new spring and damper rates and developed revised suspension packages.

These comprise two pairs of tuned coil-overs with new springs and SPAX dampers, with adjustable damping and ride height, to replace the original non-adjustable units. This suspension system significantly significantly improves the ride comfort to make these Morgans great, fast, long distance cars. Handling is now more progressive whilst allowing slightly more roll that gives better feedback in hard cornering.

The damping level can be adjusted from softer than original for improved ride comfort and grip to firmer than the originals for competition use. The SSL tuned dampers allow the suspension to absorb bumps and undulations giving a more comfortable ride and better grip over poor and/or wet surfaces. Harshness felt through the steering wheel is reduced without losing the essential feel when exploring ultimate grip.

For the Morgan Aero 8, Series 2 - 4, and the Morgan Plus 8, the suspension package comprises the 2 x pairs of coilovers. For the Series 5 Aero 8, the package has a slightly different version of the 2 x pairs of coilovers and also a set of more compliant rear anti-roll bar and bushes.

N.B. Although the spring seats are adjustable, this is only to allow the standard ride height to be replicated (other ride height settings are not recommended).

The prices for the supply of parts only are:

  • Morgan Aero 8, Series 2 - 4...£1,950
  • Morgan Aero 8, Series 5...£1,975
  • Morgan Plus 8 (from 2012)...£1,950

If you would like us to fit any of these suspension kits, which will include a full suspension geometry check and adjust (vital to ensure your Morgan is set up correctly and achieving full benefit from these upgrades) then please allow an additional £500.
