I well remember a time on eMog when as was his habbit, Bill Button was into carrying out tests and modifications and removed the shockers entirely, and determined that in general he felt little to no difference..
For sure as we age a little more comfort and bling can add to the enjoyment of our Morgan`s though how far to go before a Trad might be classified as a "RESTOMOD"....?

P.S. my mid 80`s Mog is not "original" with the aftermarket rear hoop and Koni adjustable tubular shockers front and back....in my defence they were fitted by Kevin the chap who rebuilt what was t be my Morgan. Being in search of a pseudo vintage driving experience when I bought my Mog, had it leaver arms fitted when I bought it, I would just have left them in place...
