I took apart the rear suspension on the TR4A this week and was
shocked by what I found in the rear springs.  They are bent, one side
about 1/16 over entire length, other slightly more than 1/8!  Is this common
on the TR IRS series?   The pads on the bottom were pretty well
destroyed.  I don't know if the is a cause or a side effect.

I am not comfortable using them even though the ride height was even
and about proper.  If anyone can give me good argument why I should
use them I can save myself $80.

Thanks,
