Brand New OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) specification "Soft Ride" Suspension Kit. Suitable for MG TF.

Manufactured in bulk exclusively for Rimmer Bros by the original manufacturer offering great value for owners!

Originally offered as an option on UK cars towards the end of production, these were factory fit on MG Motor models and specifically designed to improve the ride quality without adversely affecting the handling of the vehicle.

Installation of this kit results in a more supple drive, eliminating the undesirable harsh suspension characteristics of the standard suspension whilst maintaining that sports car feel. Ideal for those owners who do not use their vehicles on a race track every day! 

The kit contains 4 OEM complete suspension strut assembly's specifically designed to transform the characteristic harsh ride to a more comfortable ride whilst still maintaining that sports car feel. The kit also includes 4 uprated lower mounting bolts to eliminate the shortcomings of the original Rover bolt.

Rimmer Bros has invested heavily to bring these OEM kits back into the market and has had them manufactured exclusively at a price that offers exceptional value for money.

These were offered as an original factory option for MG TF, LE500 and 135PS models but can be fitted to any MG TF. The kit marginally improves ride height too, making speed bumps less of a concern to negotiate. 

The dampers feature the all important and expensive lower mounting spherical bearing. This allows the damper to pivot around the bolt centre thus reducing the load placed on the single mounting bolt.

Kit also features 4 x uprated, lower damper bolts. These are hot forged and ground to a specific size eliminating any unwanted play between the bolt and the rose joint.

Why not compliment this kit by fitting a polyurethane suspension bush kit too! See part number RP1048TF or RP1048TFPB.

Can be fitted to all MGTF models. Note, if installing on MG Motor models (2007-2011) the bolts will not be utilised.

Rimmer Bros also recommend you replace the following items as a matter of course:
RNF100090 x 8 (insulator rubbers) or upgrade to Genuine Polybush RNF100090APBO x 1
NY210041 x 4 (top nut)

Testimonial:

"There are a lot of things I like about my MG TF but the harsh ride was never one of them. The Soft Ride Kit from Rimmer Bros has transformed that! I can now enjoy a drive out without the creaking, thumping and harshness of the standard suspension. The kit has also reduced road noise and gives a much more comfortable ride whilst still keeping the all-important sports car feel. I would recommend the Soft Ride Kit to all TF owners!"

The KSX damper range is specifically designed for Classic Car owners who need a Bespoke solution to their suspension needs.

The basic principle of the KSX range is to allow you to create your own specification of damper from a standardised range of damper bodies and end fixings.

KSX dampers have 28 stages of on car stiffness adjustment. The adjustment is made with no dismantling and it alters both the bump and rebound forces in unison. The damping characteristics have been specially designed to be ideal for touring and for fast road use. SPAX KSX dampers are pressurized with Krypton gas. This produces not only superior low speed ride quality, but also high speed performance that is significantly improved.

KSX dampers are designed and hand built to the strictest German TüV quality standards, using the latest technologies and methods. Each and every damper is fully Dyno Tested to ensure you get 100% performance, 100% quality, 100% guaranteed. All KSX dampers are Epoxy Powder coated and oven cured for second to none looks and extra long life.

The KSX range has been designed so it can be serviced, re-valved and repaired if required. This allows a long and economic damper life.

SPAX’s massive buying power, commitment to value and “Factory Direct” pricing allows you to buy this premium product at second to none value.

Improved design, uprated, hot forged, high tensile bolt kit suitable for UK model MG TF lower damper mounting.

We've all heard about the original Rover bolts shearing off during road use, often with near serious results. Rover introduced a "fix" by using a 10.9 grade bolt but didn't actually solve the problem which was an over generous tolerance between the bolts and the inner bush diameter.

This uprated bolt not only matches the improved tensile strength of the Rover "fix" bolt but also eliminates the play from the over generous tolerance by means of a precision ground shank.

The last few threads are deliberately deformed for self locking purposes.

Suitable for all MG Rover original dampers and soft ride kits on vehicles up to and including 2005 MY.
Not suitable for Spax installations or MG Motor TF (2007-2011)

Please note: These uprated bolts may be a tight fit to standard shock absorbers fitted with standard fixed bushes, as opposed to rose-jointed bushes, therefore may require some slight reaming in order to achieve adequate fitment.

Why fit Polybush?
Impressive and Confident Ride - Excellent Noise Damping - Controlled Suspension Movement - Sharper Turn in - Predictable Cornering - Reduced Body Roll - Fit & Forget - Excellent Longevity - Designed & Engineered to Exact Specifications - Pure Materials, Immense Flexibility & Resilience.

Polybush Dynamic - Orange - Excellent balance between ultimate stiffness and elasticity. Polybush Dynamic bushes are strong enough to withstand loadings but flexible enough to ensure a smooth ride.

GRADE STORIES
As Polyurethane Experts we know our stuff when it comes to which materials to use and just as importantly which not to use, with hundreds to choose from in our factory we chose the best 3 grades for both compliance and resilience- All perfect for making suspension bushes.

Why?
Our materials last 4 -5 times longer than original rubber bushes.
Our materials keeps their shape meaning suspension geometry is maintained and you have more controlled suspension movement and reduced tyre wear.
Our materials are unaffected by oil, fuel and road contaminants.

What next?
We looked at the individual vehicle requirements to make sure we gave you the best grade to suit how you use your vehicle, where possible we gave you choices, where necessary we made the choice.

Polybush’s medium grade provides an ideal balance between control and articulation, stiff enough to provide control whilst flexible enough to give full suspension movement. An ideal option for extreme off- road.

Polybush’s Dynamic grade provides a factory fresh feel, restoring your Land Rover back to original specification resulting in superb ride quality both on and off road.
Designed and chosen specifically for your Land Rover.

3 reasons the MGTF Softride Suspension is an improvement

Did this item work well with your project? What vehicle type are you using this for?
The struts are now fitted and there is a small but noticeable improvement in the ride quality. I was concerned about the possible body roll of the car when cornering and this is not a concern anymore. I found myself not avoiding potholes but driving over them to see how it feels. The skippyness of cornering from the old units has gone and the steering feels tighter. New wishbones were added at the same time with new ball joints. The wheels seem to be better planted on the road surface.The fitting was about two hours including removing the old struts. The bolts that come with this kit are a superb addition.

Great improvement to the TF

Did this item work well with your project? What vehicle type are you using this for?
Easy to fit and a great rimmer bros video to help with the process. Super quality shocks really impressed with the way it improves the car ride
