Thought I would add my thoughts to this thread, having owned my Morgan with full SSL setup for 6 weeks now.
One of the reasons I bought this specific Morgan was because of the suspension upgrade. It’s a decent wedge of money, so my expectations were high.
The first drive out on smooth roads showed the car had impressive road handling and flew round roundabouts. However on more uneven roads I found the ride to be less controlled and creaks and rattles were coming from all over the car. Off speed humps at low speed it sounded like bits would fall off. First thing I did was to check damper settings, where 14 clicks is maximum. The front was at 9 and the rear at 13 ! Softened these off to 4 on each and ride quality improved but still far from perfect.
I reached out to @PJB and overall several weeks Peter helped me tweak the settings. I had to back off 5-10mm on the seat springs at the front to get to a point where the spacer kissed the hub. I also found general cleaning of suspension, lubricating the bonnet strips and applying oil between runners and body helped eliminate a lot of the noises.
I have to say , without doubt, the service PJB gave to me as a 2nd owner of the suspension was incredible. Far surpassed my expectations. So thank you Peter
Now the final update is tyre related, so I will put my findings in my separate thread here
http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthread...h-tyres-for-2011-plus-4-sport#Post642177 . Upshot is though, the ride of the car was being substantially impacted by old rubber. 4 new tyres fitted last night and the ride has improved 100%. Only now can I experience the full benefits of the SSL setup. It’s a completely different ride to when I first got the car, so happy bunny here.
When we get to a point where we can swap rides, happy to let others take the car for a drive to compare.
