Nothing wrong in wanting a more compliant suspension but you are certainly changing the traditional characteristics of the car not making it more like a Morgan by using a progressive rate system. Many Morgan specialists carry rebound springs with different spring rates to suit different styles of driving if you want to gently tweak the character of the suspension. I don't see how the Suplex "one size fits all" models system can benefit given the wide variation in weight and HP of the different models in the Classic range and the limited travel of the Sliding Pillar front suspension.
Morgan specifically rejected the Suplex system as not being appropriate for their cars. They apparently saw little benefit in it. Again and again Peter and Charles Morgan resisted changing the character of the suspension because they want to preserve the traditional characteristics of a vintage sports car. They consciously took that decision. It was not made out of laziness or lack of funds or stubbornness as it is so often presented. Morgan know what they are doing. Thus the only tweak made recently by the Works is the move to shorter rebound springs which gives a little more compliance.
Interesting debate and its always good to gently tweak our suspensions to suit different Morgan driving styles. Just not convinced the Susplex progressive weight system is the best way to do that.
There is another thread on this and I have been investigating Suplex for a Plus 8 and I am yet to be convinced in its current supplied set up is right for a +8. This is based on talking to a +8 owner of many years who has it fitted. Personally I think the weight question and the tuning of the suspension with Suplex is a serious point. Once I get the opportunity to test drive a +8 which has it fitted will I decide whether it is an improvement to a +8.
