Hi Mike,

Did you start this thread? Anyway my 75 TR6 has Richard Good's 
competition  springs. They lowered the car considerably  from the TRF  
springs that were so tall it  looked like a Jeep!  The tires are  
205/55-R16 and that also contributes to the lowering.

I'm very pleased with the look and enjoy the expected stiff ride. The 
only issue is with front camber. Even with no alignment shims the lower 
control arms are a tad too long kicking the wheels out at the bottom to 
the outer  limits of alignment spec. At some point I may shorten the 
arms a touch or fabricate my own replacements. And that would be just to 
gain the ability for a better alignment. I've also used spring spacers 
of cut to various thickness to fine tune the car height.
