With the exception of the TR8 front subframe, and its mounting bolts & spacers, this section is virtually identical to the uprated TR7 suspension listed earlier in the catalogue. As we recommend that the suspension is uprated when converting to TR8 spec, we have listed the necessary kits & individual parts again for ease of reference.
For engine mountings & brackets, please refer to; V8 Engine & Gearbox Mountings.
