[TR] TR3A springs

[DLylis at aol.com]

When I restored the chassis on my TR3A I replaced springs all the way  around 
with repro springs from one of the big two.  (not counting  PA).  When I 
dropped the motor into the chassis and got everything in place  I went around and 
did a comprehensive measure for level and marked up where (and  if) adjustment 
was necessary with body shims when the body went on.  There  was nothing 
unusual and extremely little variance.  The rear axle, of  course, was tight 
against the top of the chassis as there was no weight in  the rear.  Now that the 
body is on and the car is complete, I have a low  corner on the drivers side 
rear and from inspection from below it appears that  the drivers rear spring 
shows more flex than the passenger.  The repro  springs do not have the blocking 
on the passenger side as the originals do to  lower the passenger side for 
level ride with only a driver in the car.
The thing that stings here is that I replaced all the springs because I had  
excess droop on the passenger side before I started the resto.  
I could make plates as spacers between the spring and the axle for the  
pasenger side which will lower on that side.  Or should I go for raising  the low 
side?  
You kind of have to know to look for the droop, although a TR3  officianado 
noticed, no one else seems to.
What say the list?
