Lever arm morrie trick is just put thicker fluid in, 30wt I think it was for a firmer road feel

Have also seen a tube with adjustable fitting added to connect the two cylinders to give adjustable dampening

My 64 Hillman Minx lower shock mounts attach to the leaf spring plate. It doesn't seem to cause any problems.  

My lancer ones too

Yeah I've seen that, also read a bit about oil thickness as well. I'll pull them apart and give them a service with 30wt.

They do also on my 929 coupe but they are pressed on such a way as to give strength, the kits sold for the mk3 have no gusseting or any strengthening and are just a thinnish extended spring plate to accommodate the bottom shock mount.. For $900 they'd need to be better IMO.

It's maturing, brighton air is so bad it's got some rust spots coming through the epotec primer, and it's in a garage.. Will get there one day
