Seems reasonably safe, but it's going to raise the car more than 1/2" (not
sure what the spring ratio is on a TR3, but it's closer to 2:1 than 1:1) and
I don't believe it will change the spring rate. Probably louse up the
handling tho ... the TR3 front suspension doesn't have much rebound travel
anyway (at least mine doesn't) and you've just thrown away most of it ...
