welcome to the club Capt Roy!!!!
anyone out here with a TR3 who's right side ISN'T looking a little low ????
Something to do with spacers on one side and not the other from the factory to compensate for zero passenger weight that gets exaggerated over the course of time.... of course there are others who say different.... but it's the story I'm sticking to since my right side just looks a little low all the time. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I've got mine at 30 all around and it bounces a little but..
a) it's a lot easier to parallel park
b) I'm trying to cut my list of things to obsess over
c) I am still a little way away from really pushing it anywhere near its limit

Holy cow, you mean that spacer is factory?!? All this time I thought the DPO went to PepBoys one day,and came home with a spacer.... Is this some belated April Fool's Joke? (even if is), I love this list!

Here is a big discussion about the rear leaf spacer on the TR3.

To answer your pressure question... my preference is to inflate the rear tires to the max pressure indicated on the sidewall (e.g. 36#) then use about 4# less up front.
That doesn't exactly give you a boulevard cruiser ride -- okay, it may give you a rock hard butt-busting ride -- but I like the way it handles and steers with that combination.
