<DIV>If you use the 1” shortened springs without spacers to regain original
height with no shims on the lower A Arms you still can not get the proper
camber. Been there and done that, only way was to somehow lengthen the upper
A-arms. I have modified uppers which now allow adjustment out to get 1 degree
negative camber. Never tried with spacers since I wanted the car lowered an
inch.</DIV>

<DIV></DIV>RE: Adjusting front camber, can't you do the with the shims that
mount between lower a-arms and the frame?
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also agree the rear sounds like a shock problem.</DIV>

agree with Mark, focus on shocks and rear shock links especially. I once
<BR>broke a rear shock link and the car bounced badly. I'd stay away from rear
<BR>tube conversions, those upgraded rear lever shocks you're ordering will work
<BR>just fine. If the new shocks don't fix the issues and you still want to
<BR>replace springs I'd suggest buying the Goodparts set offered for a TR6 along
<BR>with spacers to regain original height. If you decide to go lower you'll
<BR>have front and rear camber issues to deal with. Goodparts rear trailing arm
<BR>brackets will allow you to regain correct camber but the front will go to
<BR>too much negative camber. The only way to correct the front is to somehow
<BR>modify the upper A-arms or buy one of the English suppliers kits for upper
<BR>A-arm adjustment. My guess is your springs are just fine and you'll find
<BR>your problem is associated with the rear shocks and or shock links.
<BR>Goodparts also makes an excellent replacement shock link kit too. Let us
<BR>know how it works out.<BR><BR>JVV<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----

Springs<BR><BR>All,<BR><BR>After almost eight years of driving bliss, with just
under 18K miles, it's <BR>time to replace what I suspect are the original road
springs.<BR>The car has gotten way too bouncy, especially in the rear.
Take a curve on <BR>a rough road, and it rear steers something awful. losing its
contact with <BR>the road, as if the spring is not forcing the wheel back down
quickly <BR>enough.<BR>As far as shocks go, I’ve got Spax adjustable up front,
and just ordered <BR>some heavy duty Armstrongs from Apple Hydraulics for the
rear.<BR><BR>I’ve gotten into some research, and everything seems to be pointing
toward <BR>three grades of stiffness; original, uprated and competition.<BR>I am
leaning toward the “uprated” variety to stiffen the ride, but I want to <BR>keep
stock height to not effect wheel camber.<BR><BR>Any experienced-based
suggestions?<BR><BR>Thanks in advance.<BR><BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR>Guy D.
