My Unique used to have a very noticeable shimmy at around 50 - 60 mph - I have to guess because the speedo didn't work back then. During the rebuild I swapped out the old MGB front suspension for Unique's newer coilover setup with the adjustable shocks, new rack, etc. At that time, I also installed 15 X 7.5 & 9.5 PS Eng. bolt ons with BFG 245 and 275's. Now there is no shimmy at any speed and I'm very pleasantly surprised at the quality of ride and handling. There is a bit of twitchiness at high speeds, though, due to a slight toe out up front which I will correct as soon as my tire shop finishes setting up their new alignment machine.
