The best and first to do is pan hard rod and brake relation bars, followed by Avo adjustable shock absorbers. If you want a comfort ride then it would be full Suplex kit up front. I believe Suplex are also now doing rear springs.

I had my car sorted by New Elms using Rutherford components. Grand job!

I had my car sorted by New Elms using Rutherford components. Grand job! 2nd that, Darren at New Elms sorted a slight wheel wobble on my +8, by a re-aligning the steering rack to get the steering arms parallel. Great job.

I believe Suplex are also now doing rear springs. Totally agree. I fitted both the Panhard Rod and Reaction Bars and they are straight forward to do. (Just get some good drill bits). AVOs were an early (easy) upgrade as well and with a well greased front end - all good! Certainly felt the difference going up the 'Hill' at Shelsley Walsh

On my older narrow Morgans I used Rutherford rear conversions and Spax shock absorbers.
The general consensus today is that Rutherford AVO's and Konis are better.
The Spax however transformed the ride and handling from the lever Armstongs.
Gomog do a test on the damping rates of various shock absorbers to compare.
For the +4 4seater I tried AVO's and found that Suplex front and rear with the Bilsteins to give a better ride. The problem was that I had weak rear springs on the +4 so perhaps not a fair comparison. The Suplex springs come with specially rated Bilsteins but they are not adjustable.

I wish I could find two people to agree on the best spring / shock combination.

Any questions pm me.
As you can see from Henry's race car, we have sorted the suspension problems. We can cater for any budget, doesn't always have to be the most expensive.
