I had to smile when I read this and remembered my dad telling me "just 
run STP in the rear shocks". This is how I learned how to drive the car 
over the 40 some years I have been driving it. I still run it that way 
frankly with the STP he put in the shocks "just because" although the 
valves have probably compensated over the years and miles. I have new 
shocks in my stash but never felt the need to change anything - I know 
the car so well as it is and I like the balance. I will tell you that 
its getting tough crossing railroad tracks at speed in my old age...

I am quite sure that there are more enlightened thought process since 
the late '50s and early '60s when my dad raced my TR3 so I am not 
suggesting this as a course of action. In fact in my TR6, the first 
thing I did was design and fabricate a bolt-in (stock mount points) 
conversion to Koni's...

Best to all...
