Without hijacking the thread, I take the liberty of sharing my impressions after my Bergen-Oslo-Bergen trip, aprox. 1000 km with a newly installed SSL Panhard rod. Mostly cruising, good roads, only ocasionally spirited driving. First thing I noted, the car seemed more planted on the tarmac. This was a vague but pleasant feeling, resembled what I experienced when I fitted brake reaction reaction stays, but more pronounced. I felt this even at low speeds including city driving, which surprised me. The real difference was cornering at medium or higher speeds. Turning in was sharper, with a more accurate response to my steering movements. I could maintain the posisjon of the steering wheel much more calm though the corner, with less (or no) need for small corrections all along. I also noted less tendency to understeer (which I cannot explain, regarding what I have understood of the geometry!), almost a slight oversteer - but not a concern, on the contrary. I dislike the Morgan understeer. Consecutive left-right-left-right corners, "slaloming" - were managed with more presision, without the SUV-like feeling of the body shifting laterally.
Would I recommend a PR to just a cruiser like myself? Yes, absolutely. Not something that is needed, but it does make the driving more relaxed. A Morgan is not a relaxing car to drive, you have to be attent and "at it" all the time. Part of the fun, but it gets tiresome after a while. With the steering/suspension mods I have done (brake reaction stays, steering damper and now above all the PR), the car is easier do drive, less tiring, more predictable and relaxing. For a racer a PR is obviously a must, for a cruiser like myself also with a notable effect behind the wheel, very pleasant and more than I expected. With Norwegian garage expences it would have been quite costly though, if I did not manage to fit it myself.
As for fitting, I found it straightforward but quite fiddly and strenous. The space around the diff was no problem, but my car being a six-leaf version, space between the underside of the spring and the chassis was extremely limited. DaveW has commented upon this in his post indicated above. I have fed my fittting experiences back to SSL, if anybody is interested I can copy/paste it in here as a separate post.
