Same as TR3 springs, right ?  For the TR3, the factory manual (or Bentley
reprint) gives static deflection as 4.04", so presumably the free height
should be 4.04" less than the laden height.

And at least on the later 3As, there was a spacer inserted on the
passenger's side, to more nearly level the car when driven without a
passenger.  Seems hard to believe that any inspector would care about the
thickness of the spacer ... or whether there was also one on the driver's
side.
