Hi I have a Plus 8 1996, which is efi, either carb. one or later injected would be good. I found mine a bit of a soft ride, this was because for a few years early nineties, I am told, Morgan fitted 115lb front springs. I redid the front suspension and fitted 145lb springs and adjustable shocks.
The ride is pretty good, I with a low shock setting it is comfortable and if I want it stiffer just raise the shock setting. Never set too stiff on the rear as can cause axle hop. I love mine and am happy to drive most roads, although bad potholed lanes will jar most cars. Regards Adrian On 30 Jul 2012, at 23:30, "JOHN H.
