The Sunbeam Tiger is a legend — a British classic infused with American V8 muscle. But while Carroll Shelby’s transformation gave the Alpine its roar, it also exposed a critical weakness: the front suspension. Originally designed for a lightweight four-cylinder car, the Tiger’s factory suspension was never meant to handle the added power, torque, and front-end weight of a small-block Ford engine.

Over the decades, even well-preserved Tigers show the strain — flexing under load, offering vague steering feedback, and struggling to keep up with modern road performance standards. Today’s driving conditions, stickier tires, and performance expectations make a modern suspension upgrade not just desirable, but essential for safety, comfort, and control.

To address this, a modern front suspension has been engineered in collaboration with a professional racing engineer — a specialist in road racing, drag, and street performance suspension systems. Every element, from geometry and anti-dive characteristics to steering precision and strength, was analyzed and optimized using modern CAD modeling and performance testing.

The result is a system built with strong tubular and gusseted construction, providing exceptional torsional rigidity, alignment stability, and durability. This engineered setup dramatically enhances steering response, cornering grip, and overall ride quality while preserving the Tiger’s raw vintage character.

The reason to upgrade? Because your Tiger deserves a front suspension designed by the same caliber of engineering used in modern race and performance cars — a system that finally allows the Tiger to handle as fiercely as it accelerates.
