Anybody got contact info for Morgan Racing? Maybe we could convince them to make us a batch with 20 people signed up instead of 30?

I am on the fence..I just read almost through the thread...It said in the first couple of threads that rebuild is 2-4 years depending on usage. I do not do any track time with my car,so I am looking for general street handling.And it's pretty much my everyday driver,although now that the SUS in on the road I can cut back a bit.But I put about 15k on it a year.So I guess that means I will most likely be on the 2 year rebuild program? And what change will be made to the ride height? And how much are the inserts for the rebuild?
Sorry for all the questions,but my house is a bit hectic right now, and I can't read all the detail's.
Again..sorry for a most likely repeat for all the above.

From what I've read, that does put you near the 2 year range. Ride height, from what I've heard, is adjustable, starting with I believe .5" under stock being the highest, so you can get really close. If I'm recalling correctly. We tried to get some word on the rebuild, but I dont recall any info coming out of it.

These really seem to be heavily geared towards getting put on a non-daily driver car, or someone who does mostly "spirited" driving. Due to the spring rate and rebuild time, they're really only good for a daily driver if you're going to appreciate them every day. They are a GREAT deal for what you're getting though... Unfortunately on that note, they've been taking forever to get, and I have other obligations to put my money towards. The tranny will be going, and the rust has gotten worse, so that has to get done before the winter. Currently, the all mighty dollar just isn't going far enough for me to swing this modification, and the tranny will be the next one. So we're going to have to -1 from the count. I'll keep an eye on the thread though, and if they're still waiting come X-Mas time, maybe I"ll get myself a Christmas present...

I bought some OEM struts in February this year (with springs but not the top mounts) from subaru parts WITH a 10% discount and I paid around $780.00. Cost of labor to install... I don't want to say... lol

What you are offering appears like a much better deal.
