MGB Evolution 3 front suspension

The most advanced front suspension available for MGB's. Still looking like the original, whilst incorporating all the advanced features of a modern suspension design.
The ultimate front suspension upgrade: featuring double wishbone, independent coil spring and damper set up. And a ball jointed conversion of the original axle uprights.
Adjustable for caster and camber.
The design permits a smoother, better controlled and more efficient damper operation. Allowing increased tyre-to-road contact, precision steering control and enhanced driver feedback, along with much better absorption and control of wheel bump and rebound.
Maintenance free with increased service life.
The use of ball joints adds precision and reduces the 'stiction' of the old king pin and bush design. Leading to a more precise, alive, and controlled drive.
Suitable for chrome and rubber bumper MGB & MGB GT including V8 models.
Fully compatible with uprated anti roll bars and upgraded steering and braking products.

Professional Reviews of MGB EVO 3 Ball Jointed Front Suspension:
“The ultimate front suspension upgrade incorporating modern suspension design and technology; featuring double wishbone, independent coil and damper set-up and unique top and bottom ball jointed axles, adjustable for both camber and castor. Marking a significant milestone in the development of the MGB... Evolution 3 takes the MGB front suspension to its logical conclusion.” MGB Evolution 3

 “... the new Evolution 3... follows the RV8 suspension in using spherical ball joints at the top and bottom of a new hub assembly instead of a traditional kingpin, but which retains the MGB's stub axle so that the range of tuning parts that have been developed for the MGB in terms of wheels and brakes can still be accessed. “

“The adjustment facility on the Evolution 3 not only means that the characteristics can be tailored to suit your needs, but the settings can also be optimised across the car..."

“As adverse cambers team up with bumps to unsettle the car, it remains composed at all times.” “The beauty of the Evolution 3 is that it can be used with a standard rear suspension..." “...the goal of the Evolution 3 [was) ...to update the original design while staying true to its essential character." www.mgenthusiast.com

 “There's rather more to the Evolution 3 front suspension, as its £1392 price indicates....it does away with the compromised lever-arm damper (which also acts as the top wishbone) in favour of GAZ or Koni telescopic damper and fabricated top wishbone. However, it also replaces the wear-prone kingpin with a standard upright which swivels on modern ball joints and is designed to allow relatively simple camber and caster adjustment. “Does it work? Resoundingly, yes. Still on standard-rate springs, the black Roadster manages the clever trick of giving a more comfortable ride while handling considerably more precisely. On the horrifically bad Fen roads around MGOC Cambridgeshire HQ, the little B copes admirably with dips, bumps and abrupt camber changes. The surprise comes when the tyres - common-or garden 185/55s - begin to squeal long before the suspension shows any sign of trauma. That wouldn't be the case in a standard B." Octane Magazine
