My suspension is the Addco bar up front, SPAX shocks set firm, 
competition front springs and rear shocks rebuilt by Apple Hydraulics 
with the heavy duty valves.  

It is much improved around corners than stock.  I think you will love the 
combination.  The  only problems I have is the rear tyres breaking loose 
too easily when I floor the accelerator and that the few tyres currently 
available for TR rims have a real crappy tread/compound.

Well they are good long lasting tyres that are great for club touring or 
mild Sunday drives.  They are just way under rated for the TR3 if you 
like driving around curves.

Near as I can tell Coker has the only decent tyres available and they run 
a little over $600 per set of four.
