1972 TR6. Lowered with GoodParts stiffer springs, upgrade front sway =
bar,
added rear sway bar, stiffer valved lever shocks. Lots of engine mods =
too.
Car is set up for autocross and my son does quite well in it.
Wife is not so fond of the very stiff ride.

Subject: [TR] TR4A rear lever shocks
List:
Forgot to attach a pic of the alternator, narrow pulley kit, and Macy's
hurricane fan installed.
Also, I have been playing with different shock setups on the rear of the =
4A.
My 67 4A is an IRS with rebuilt lever shocks with upgraded valves for =
extra
stiffening. My suspension is all new with polyurethane bushings and =
heavy
duty comp springs (1 inch lower). I notice that on road undulations the
rear bottoms out easily. My 6 had the tube shock conversion kit and I
installed that with new KYB gas shocks on the 4A. Road like a modern =
car
but raised the rear end up a little too high for some reason. Am I too
optimistic to think that lever shocks even rebuilt with upgraded valves =
are
going to be acceptable for handling? Anyone have experience with a nice
firm setup that they would like to share.
Thanks in advance,
