Yes, a set was fitted to Roger Parkers (MGOC) MGF a few months ago and was featured in their mag and MG Enthusiast , i think! ~ very little feedback at the moment, initial improvement was good. Will see if i can get some information from Roger. :thumbsup:

why they are not sold without shock absorber? Many of us have perhaps the new shocks, or even adjustable shock absorbers. why not give us the opportunity to keep our shocks?

The article is five pages and was in the August 2011 edition of MG Enthusiast, too large to post here, if you can give me an email address i will scan as a pdf and send. Will also contact Roger for an update on results. :thumbsup:

The shock absorbers are part of the system and have been made to compliment the spring units and stiffen the suspension a bit, but not too much to make it "teeth chattering" like the early TFs!!!!!

I do not understand, you can not use other dampers for mechanical incompatibility (I think not) or as a matter of balancing the system?
I would be happy if I could use my adjustable shock absorbers with these spring

You can deal with SUPLEX direct and they will explain why, i think you can buy the Oz system without shocks, because their system is adjustable and uses adjustable shock absorbers. hope this helps :yesnod:

I must admit I agree with Peter. Suplex should also supply the spring units only if required. :broon:

There must be a lot of people who have replaced their standard shocks with adjustables, who would just want the spring unit.

Suplex may be missing a trick here. in my opinion. :yesnod:

I have 4 brand new Gaz shocks sitting in my front hall waiting to be mounted.
That fact alone would have me looking at the Aussie system.

Rich,
when you decide to fit those shocks, don't go to aggressive on the settings, otherwise your fillings fall out ( i tried and failed). Start with nothing and gradually stiffen up, I ended up at 6 on the fronts ( rears are a different make and fixed rate) nice and tight feeling but not to skittish. (Note I also have Bridgestone tyres on front)
