I fitted the Suplex to the front of my four seater 3 years ago and have been very pleased with it. It seems to have improved with age traversing our rough roads with comparative ease. I have fitted adjustable AVO's on the back with my own adjustable bump stops and the ride is as good as I think I can get it.

Is this what You mean. I added 1" travel to accommodate the Bilstein shock. It was too long for the low ride height setting. Since this attempt I changed to Mulberry's low ride height springs. Which is not working well for Me either. In fact it was terrible. So as You can see, I am still with trying to cure Bump Steer, get a compliant ride and keep the handling the legendary Morgan handling that made Me go for Morgan in the first place. Some 30 years ago.
The great thing about Morgans is they can be tailored to suit the owners precise requirements and peculiarities!!
I just had adjustable Spax shocks fitted all round (recommended now by mulfab), new king pins and steering bearings and a pan hard rod. Already had brake reaction bars. The plan was to fit mulfab springs as I'd had fitted to the last car. The standard length mulfabs were 1" longer than the factory springs (with suplex stamped on them), so on the advice of mulfab, stayed with the factory springs and played with the dampers. Very happy with both the ride quality and the handling. The whole car now feels tighter, but without being too hard. The suspension now feels to be working, riding over bumps rather than trying to crash through them. I know you can keep on faffing about with them til the cows come home, but currently I'm happy with this set up, so probably best to leave it as it is.

I agree: Every time I try to fix the Suspension I make it worse.
An improvement, even over the rutherford springs I had on previuosly.
