Now here is an arguement.
As I understand the tube shock converters, some like em, some don't.
Running about 50/50.
Now if you have $10 tube shocks on each corner, you get a mushy american
yacht ride. If you have $80 Spax or Konis at each corner, it rides and
handles just like a Spridget.

Like I said, this is from what I have heard. I have a tube shock
conversion set up for all 4 corners, it's in a box not on the car.
I know a pro rallyer who put tubes on his Midget, he went back to
levers.
Another friend put tubes on his Midget, his wife loved them, he hated
them.
