No 'fraid not, but I do remember watching a TV show saying that MG did something even better with the MGB to get it to US regs...put wooden blocks between the top of the suspension struts and body to raise the ride height.

Well that looks truly hideous.

If I had a US car that would be the first thing I removed and smoothed over the bolt holes!
