Good Morning List,

Winter is arriving in Wisconsin soon and I'm going to be doing my first
complete suspension rebuild on the '74 TR6. As I prepare to put my parts list
together I thought I'd solicit thoughts from the list on experiences with
bushings from the various suppliers (large and small) and if there are any
types of bushings I should avoid. I plan to upgrade the bushings wherever
possible but I'm wondering if some bushings are too hard or annoyingly squeeky
because of the materials they are made from. Anyone have good/bad experinces
to share?

Also looking for a good source for springs. I want a stock ride height but I
wouldn't mind a competition spring for a firmer ride. Any expereinces with
good/bad springs?

Lastly, I'm considering a mild competion set-up to give the TR just alittle
more handling for spirited driving. Any experinces with uprated front sway
bars, rear sway bars, and/or upgraded shocks (adjustable Konis?, Spax?) and
springs upfront?

I know I'm not tfirst one to go down this road so I'm soliciting the list for
input because there's just no sense in re-inventing the wheel.

Thanks!
