The actual name of the kit is: SUPLEX 'Front Suspension Refinement System'

As Mike has said it does not alter the structure of the car but enables the Morgan suspension to work as well as possible. The system is simply a well engineered set of rising rate springs, adaptable to all models, that comes with carefully matched dampers. They keep the tyres on the road, reduce body roll and, at the same time, lighten the steering, improve safety, reduce shocks transmitted to the chassis and bodywork, and yes, they also improve ride quality.

To call it "Comfort" is not correct, it will never give a limo ride or handling like a new Caterham but wil make the Morgan system work as it should.


Blame me notworthy - I am a newbie and would like to say that when I named this thread "Comfort suspension" I only knew that there was a solution to my suspension problems around the corner. I was convinced that my car was going to be 'more comfortable' relative to what I had. I could never guess how much attention it was going to get. I am deeply impressed by all the expertise and knowledge that has been exposed here and I would humbly ask you to bear with me as the newbie I am. surrender

As I wrote in my first post: "I love the thought that the original construction, the sliding hub/pillar suspension, will still be going strong for another couple of decades..." - I still think so and I totally agree with both Mike and Peter above (the name of the thread is misleading). I also wrote: "The new Morgan 4/4 Sport suspension I think is a big step in the right direction..." which shows that Morgan actually are changing the characteristics of the suspension in a way that could be perceived as 'more comfortable' but basically just makes the car more drivable on bumpy roads. In my view it makes the car even more 'original and special' in that way that HFS's original suspension system still is competitive and enjoyable.

I hope that my layman-ish comments are not offending anyone - it's not my intention.
