I have had a similar experience with my MGB. The stock shocks liked to compress but not rebound and the tube-shocks for the conversion were hard on compression but soft on rebound.

The stock method seemed to be soft at low speeds but allowed the suspension to "load-up" at speed so it got "firmer" the faster you went.

The conversion gave much better low-speed suspension "feel" but the high speed use was slightly more "wallowy" but not scary by any means. Tough on speed-bumps, however.
