My car was low even when we picked it up at the factory in 2012. By the time we got it home, 3,000 km later, we had grounded out on about 100 speed bumps and could not even get it down the ramp to our garage. Ground clearance was less than 9cm even unloaded. Some countries, Australia included, require a minimum ground clearance of 10cm.

Morgan resolved the problem by having Borghi fit a set of the older 5 leaf springs. I'm not entirely happy with this solution as the ride is harder and the rear axle has been moved forward about 2 cm making the rear wheels a little forward in the wheel arch.

After something over 15,000 km since the 5 leafs were fitted the underside of the car again "kisses" the top of the ramp down to my garage.

As mentioned in an old thread I am still thinking of changing tyres to 195/65 R15 instead of the standard 195/60 R15 as this will give me another 1cm of ride height. I think the spare will just fit in the hole with the larger diameter tyre but the fitting of the cobra light will need to be "adjusted". Unfortunately in Italy this is not something to be undertaken lightly as the car has to be taken to have an inspection done and the new tyre sizes added to the car's documents. Cost over €100 for this plus the tyres.
