Today we upgrade the front suspension on my MGBGT Autocrosser with a Moss Fast Road coil over conversion.
We start by looking at the kit itself and what you get with it, then remove the entire front suspension out of my car including the cross member. As we’re disassembling the suspension off of the cross member, we show some of the many weight saving modifications that have been made over the years on these parts. Then we show the revisions needed to the cross member to install the kit explaining how they suggest to do it, as well as the way I ended up doing it that I felt was easier for me to do.
We then resume with a fully cleaned and repainted cross member, where we start the actual installation of the parts included in the kit. Along the way we look a little closer at even more of the weight saving mods that were previously done in search of faster lap times. Once all the parts from the kit are installed, we put the whole lot back under the car. I also explain why I usually never assemble a front suspension outside the car, and why I prefer to install the cross member without the suspension, only installing the suspension after it is bolted in. It is much easier, not to mention safer to use the weight of the car to your advantage rather than trying to use ratchet straps and the like to try to compress the springs on reassembly.
