Re: Adjustable suspension for 2.8
I assume you mean adjustable shock absorbers? Rears should be available but 2.8's have Bilstein struts on the front and I'm fairly sure aftermarket ones aren't available for these but I'm ready to be corrected. The answer is to fit std Capri struts.
If it's ride height you want to adjust then fixed lowering and/or stiffening can be done with aftermarket springs for the front and lowering blocks on the rear. In situ adjustable height is not possible on the rear of the Capri without major modification but the front can be made adjustable with a coil over kit for the strut.
On a wider issue...why do you want to do this to your Brooklands? I'm no fan of the cabbage myself but surely these days messing around with the mechanicals will only devalue it?
