I also found out in an article from Rick Regan many years ago that the 100M package had  Stiffer Shock Absorber valves, part # 17H65.

Folks-I did some research about the items in the Lemans Kits. The kit did not contain any upgraded shocks. However, if you had the kit installed at the Donald Healey Motor works, they could add stiffer shocks 1B8735 (which later became standard on cars from Chassis # 153855 on) for an additional charge. There was a stiffer roll bar on the cars 7H1721 (3/4" instead of stock 1/2", I believe)

You could also request stiffer rear springs, for a price, 1B8929 (standard after Chassis 152233)

Basic kits could always be upgraded depending on what degree of racing you planned to do. There were many additional gear and overdrive combination options.

Here is a bit of their encouraging advertising. This is from Piggott's book "100 in Detail".  Hank

I'm by no means an M expert but I have a vague recollection that they were fitted with "RXP" shocks, same as the 100S.  I may be completely wrong, just something from the dusty corners of my mind.

Happy and Healthy Healeydays,
Rick Neville

Bob,
In the leaflets issued about the 100M, it says that there is Special setting Front Shock Absorbers. Nothing else I could find.

Anybody know if 100M shock absorbers are different than regular BN1/2s?
I think the sway bar was 'uprated,' but don't know about the shocks.
