Hi
The problem I have always had with lever shocks is the quality of the recon
ones.
If you can get good recon or new they work well. The other problem with them
is how long they last.
If you are looking for improved handling the springs are going to make the
big difference.
The MG owns club now do one piece leaf springs that are very good.

Tom, the tube shock conversion is a popular one for an MGB, mostly
because it is simple and cheaper than buying rebuilt lever shocks. I am
not convienced the tube shocks provide any advantages over the lever
shocks. My street MGB V8 conversion, and my MGB Vintage race car both
use lever shocks. At one time the race car had tube shocks, but I
replaced them for levers.
For lever shocks I'd call World Wide Auto Parts 1 800-362-1025, or Moss
Motors; no, I have no connection with these companies.
