What The Customers Say

I have been building, modifying, competing, and generally using my cars hard since the 1950’s; don’t count but I am now 73.

My daughter seems to have followed in the family tradition, certainly in the competing arena, this in her 1.8K series engined, much modified MG Midget. In the early days she and a fellow competitor would drive to an event and I would follow in my B. However, it was almost impossible for me to keep up with them because their handling was such that they were able to tuck in close on corners, whereas I would be fighting to keep on their tail, even though my MGB had all new suspension parts and was in tip-top condition.

After visiting the 2002 Stoneleigh MG Show were I saw the Hoyle front suspension kit, I placed an order so that I might stand a chance of staying with my daughter’s Midget.

The kit arrived looking just as good as it did on the stand, every thing was in excellent condition and complete with all the parts need to carry out the fitting. Following the very clear and well written instructions, I carried out a small modification to the cross member and a little bit of welding, which was all done with the car up on jacks. Once fitted the suspension offers a wide range of settings, as the castor and camber are fully adjustable, as are the springs and shock absorbers.

For the road test I set the castor to standard, the camber at 1 degree negative and the springs and shocks to mid way (the ride is up to you). A quick flip up the road to settle the new set up, another check to make a few further adjustments and to see all was secure, and then off to try it out… To say I was amazed would be an under statement. I found the car now handled like a modern sports car. I was able to turn in hard into a corner and whereas before I would have to work really hard to stop the drift to the middle of the road. Now my MGB tucks in and stays tucked in, it feels totally secure on the road. It is particularly effective, especially on my many trips on the Continent. Those lovely French roads, where you can really get on with your motoring are now a great joy. This kit has made a tremendous difference and I am a very, very satisfied customer.

I recently completed a major rebuild on my MGB roadster, which included a V8 conversion and your front and rear suspension. On our first outing, which was quite a long journey to an MG show, my wife slept for the first time ever in an MGB, this she blamed on the much improved ride quality.

My BGTV8 is used daily and over the years has undergone many suspension and engine upgrades (now 4.6L stage 2). I recently had your IRS fitted and am extremely impressed, this is the best single improvement that has ever been made to my car.

Your suspension systems on my NGV8 are having no problem in handling the 450bhp/ton  that I have available under my right foot. I have driven the car in anger on the track and the handling is superb and I still have not found its limits, it is as good as my TVR Griffith.

I like to imagine myself as an engineer and truly enjoy tinkering with my MGB, so I love things like the Hoyle IRS kit, but even I need assistance now and then.  However most “tuner” parts that are purchased are pure “caveat emptor” with no customer support.  No so with John Hoyle.  For example, when I wanted advice on installing and tuning my Webber carburetor I had to buy a book and spend hours with trial and error fiddling.  On the other hand, when I had a question with the installation of the Hoyle IRS kit, I got on the phone, or sent an email and had an answer the next day.  The single largest change I ever made to my car was also one of the easiest, as I was able to talk directly with the engineer who designed and built it. And he was happy to talk about it, share ideas and even mailed additional parts at no extra charge. I couldn’t be happier with the kit and the level of customer support is simply the highest I have ever experienced.

“driving the car around the Highland roads is a real joy; no more front wheel patter on rough surfaces, there is very little roll and the back end stays firmly planted to the road. Axle tramp has been eliminated and on hard acceleration the car just squats a little.”

Geoff King, Kincardinshire

Thanks again for the quick response as it helped me move my project forward again. I'll be sure to pass on the kudos to others in the industry about your GREAT customer service!!

Thank you for all your help to this point, seriously your customer service is the best I have seen.

My 2 litre GT with your front kit handles better and corners faster than my BV8 with an RV8 X/member.
