Suplex went off the market but is back on but now sold as an 'X-part' kit and the price has gone back up to £850/kit (inclusive VAT). I've seen fitted prices of around £1200. When I looked at the Aussie kit last year, it was going to be around £1200 plus fitting (but that was before the pound took a pounding). I think it's great that Mike Satur is going to offer another solution to this 'problem' and I expect it will be very well engineered. Given the lack of value in the cars, a kit that will cost you over a £1000 before fitting may not look like good sense but then I know someone who spent £20K on a Midget that was then 'worth' £9K when he sold it. I'm going to try re-gassing. The F is off to Telford next week for the Ian & Dawn Kennedy fix. It costs £480 inclusive which involves removing the units, de-gassing, fitting a valve, re-gassing, refitting then a hydragas pump-up. I'll let you know how I get on.

It's good to see that Mike has a similar opinion on the Suplex 'coil in a can' as I do!

This does look a well engineered solution by someone who actually understands the problems. Costs are high but so is a Suplex kit and that is a design flawed system that will almost certainly fracture the rear top damper mounts.

Factor in that it is £850 plus VAT!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Suplex has had mixed reviews but there is a kit available from the Sydney MG centre which is apparently very good.

to the t bar.

There is a suplex kit one eBay uk at £1100 plus postage at the moment.

I've read quite a few bad things about the kit so I wouldn't bother with it.

The more cost effective way is to swap over to tf subframes and mgfntfbitz over here do a kit so it may be worth dropping them an email and see what they could sort you out with.

Hello, my name is Pedro, im for portugal, and i own a mgf 1.8 88kw from 1996, i got this car about 2 years ago and i love it! It is a really nice car for some corners, perfect for a weekend ride. My only complaint with isthe suspension: every time i charge it, it only lasts for about 3 to 4 months before needing to be refilled. More recently, two of the spheres broke down, which means i have two options: either i find 4 new spheres and change them all ( because changing only two would leave the car very unballanced )or i buy a hydagas to coil suspension kit . As the spheres are no longer in production and it is hard to find them, i am more inclined to buy a suspension kit. Having searched the internet for suspension kits, i found the most common was the SUPLEX kit , but i cant find it in stock anywhere. So what i want to ask is which kit do you recommend me buying? and where can i find it in stock? ( i live in Portugal, EU). Of course the price is also an important factor.

Thank you for your time,

Pedro Rosado
