Default Here is what you need

Hawk engineering in the UK makes a fully adjustable, tubular adjustable setup. It is available through them or Moss here in the states. Cost including all new hardware, bushings etc is about $1200. Modification to the crossmember will be required. The entire geometry of this suspension has been completely redesigned and reportedly is a HUGE improvement over the stock MG stuff. I am changing over to it next winter.

I just adapted a set of Wilwood brakes to fit the MG front. A bunch of work but certainly easier to get performance parts for. Old setup was 4 pot Girling calipers and GM rotors.

Unique does sell a COMPLETE front suspension to replaces the MG. It includes everything such as cross member, suspension and steering and even brakes. Will it fit your car? Probably. $3000.00. When you add up the cost of a complete upgrade you are not far from this number. I should have just bit the bullet and did that myself.

Have fun!

Rick
