Hannes, have you owned an SFA vehicle before?
Due to the high un-sprung mass, corrugations are more noticeable at lowish speeds than in IFS and especially all-independent vehicles.
Strangely, on really bad surfaces, they seem to get better. This is because they have more suspension travel and thus bottom out less frequently.
However, a good set of shocks definitely does improve the situation.

Re: Suspension
No Peter I have not. So again it is the inexperience talking but I am just wanting to make sure I am not sitting with a problem that might have an easy fix.

Re: Suspension
Some interresting suspension upgrades in this video (five link front arms, long arms in the rear and a super flex sway bar - from superior enginering):
