I wonder if the new Suplex system that's been discussed on other threads might help?
I don't really know much about suspension. I've never had to.

I have had a few nasty shocks in mine, Neil. The other day it crashed so violently that I really thought I had done some damage. It sounded like God's cutlery tray. It was ok though. Experiences like this really do make you think about a suspension upgrade.

Does any one know the part number for the AVO shocks for the front? Their website just shows the Plus 4 and no other models. I am interested for a 2009 Roadster.

You need the Rutherford AVO's - different settings for Morgans. http://www.newelmsmorgan.com/rutherford-parts.htm

Good results on a 3.0 Roadster with the SUPLEX front suspension. The 3.7 is not that much different so should also work well. PJB.

It's all a bit confusing.... Particularly as I don't really know much about suspension.
The Avo's are a shock absorber replacing the existing ones?
The Suplex is a similar idea which also includes shock absorbers?

Do you think it would help with the bottoming out issue too Mike? Is it adjustable?
Thanks...

Probably about right Neil. Are you of a reasonably stout build? If so, you might want a little extra air. Your car is heavier than mine by a reasonable percentage and I weigh in the region of 130Kg (yes, I need to lose weight - about a third of that!  ). I run 24 front 26 rear for normal road use.
