Hi all,
I am new to the FOS list. I own a 1967 TR4A-IRS that I finished restoring back 
in 2013 (DavesTR4A. com). Itâ??s running stock lever type rear shocks that 
other than cleaning and painting and adding new links, I just reinstalled in 
the the car during the restoration. They seem to have resistance when I 
push/pull them so I am pretty sure they work as designed. 
The car has always been kind of skittish on rough roads and I am considering 
switching to a tube shock conversion, specifically the one that bolts directly 
to the existing shock mounts.
Originality isnâ??t my main focus here. I like to drive it aggressively.
I would be interested in anyoneâ??s experience with switching from rear lever 
shocks to chassis mounted (using the stock shock mounting points) regarding 
handling improvement or not.
Thanks in advance,
Dave Connitt
â??67 TR4A-IRS
