| 194 New uprated RV8 front springs Gavin Brown at the MG Car Centre at Launceston in Tasmania has obtained a supply of replacement up-rated front springs. (October 03)  Gavin Brown reports "these springs are an up-rated version of the Japanese specification front suspension springs (GRS105) which are no longer available through MG Rover. Over time all RV8s suffer from sagging springs which causes the bump stops to constantly ride on the lower spring pan which leads to a bone jarring ride on anything less than a perfect road surface". Gavin has obtained a supply of up-rated replacement springs and says that "by fitting these springs will raise the height of the car back to the Factory specification of 355mm +/- 10mm from the centre of the wheel arch on the wing to the centre of the road wheel". The springs are finished with a black powder coating for durability. |  Uprated RV8 front spring (GRS105HD) available from The MG Car Centre in Tasmania finished with a black powder coating for durability.
