That's bad news,mate. :nonod:

It sounds as if problems have come up somewhere, whether in the manufacture or testing failures, it will be fascinating to find out. :yesnod:



edit
Interestingly CARHOODS DIRECT have just announced that they can supply these units at £675 + VAT

Hi, I have just seen your thread, I have recently joined SUPLEX UK and have been involved in the final developments of the SUPLEX MGF Suspension kit.

It has taken some time as our F's head gasket went and then the radiator.

The final tests have been completed now the car is up and running.

The kits works fabulous.

The final part was to create the fitting instruction and we have now prepared the first 10 car sets of pre production units, there will be some small asthetic mods.

These are now availible via us at [email protected]

:woohoo:

I have a 2001 MGF Trophy, both my rear spheres failed within 2 weeks of each other. As I am in Australia sourcing spheres for a Trophy was near on impossible. People tried to sell me std second hand front spheres at AU$350 and stated they would be ok. One guy on ebay here in OZ is asking AU$695 ea.
I am not willing to take the risk on used spheres as they will fail again in the near future.
I bit the bullet and purchased the kit from Suplex direct, it is to be shipped in the next 24hrs.
Will post an update on the forum once installed and tested.
Perhaps I can sell the 2 front spheres piping and Trophy dampers on ebay to help offset the cost.

Any info you have that you think you can give us.

Remember that we know nearly nothing about this kit and if we are to suggest it in the future it would be nice to have some info to base it on.

Does it keep the same geometry, can you use different shockers to suit etc etc, what testing has been carried out?
