John, the brake drums are available from Victoria British for a 240 Z. The
center has to be opened a little to fit the hub, assuming you don't have
Z-car axels, and the groove from the back has to be trimmed to fit the
backing plate.
Good Parts(http://goodparts.com/) has the correct autocrossing parts for a
TR6. I have both the front and rear bars and I'm very happy with them.
Ted Shumaker(http://www.tsimportedautomotive.com/) also has some parts that
may interest you and believe he can do some things with spring rates.
Both these companies can provide parts for high performance TR's
