Hi Wayne:
I just rebuilt the suspension of my '69 TR6 this Spring. From the various
threads regarding springs your selection can be pretty subjective. I
purchased stock ride height, heavy duty springs from BPNW, at a fair price
and I'm very happy with the results. I installed new poly spring pads all
around (front and rear) while replacing all four springs. I also upgraded
to the tube shock conversion in the rear and installed new shocks in the
front. Front bushings were upgraded to poly units.
Prior to the rebuild I did not have one measurement that was the same on ANY
of the four corners. The end result has been a level car with accurate
measurements all around.
Good luck with your project.
