Forgive me for asking, but what makes you such a proponent of the lever
shocks? I have installed a set of true coilovers on my TR6 (see
http://www.bowtie6.com/rear_suspension.htm) and I find they are fantastic.
I realize I did quite a bit of fabricating, but the ride and performance
qualities of coilovers are far superior to anything else. Not to mention
the limitless availability of spring rates and damping fluids.
Just asking... OK?

Subject: [6pack] Re: [TR] Ratco TR6 Frame
Here's one more vote for Tony and his work. I spend quite a bit of
time talking to him and sat in on one of his seminars during the VTR
convention. His product appears to be first-rate and he is certainly
knowledgeable about TR frames in general. We differed on the topic of
rear shock absorbers; he is death on levers, I'm something of a
proponent. Either way, he'll build a frame to suit your requirements.
Now that my girlfriend knows how much I want a Ratco frame, she keeps
reminding me to save my money. She also wants to go to Hawaii next
spring. This doesn't look like an either/or situation.
