I'll attest to that!  I had my TR6 shocks rebuilt and paid extra for the
"Heavy Duty" option.  The shocks were still underdamped.  The TR3 had a
nicely controlled ride (although a bit stiff*) and I have no complaints
(since I don't race it (you don't race a car with 48 spoke wheels)).  With
the tube shock conversion, I now have a TR3 style ride in a TR6.  The best
of both worlds.  :-|
