drove my brother's '74 2.0 the other day - his has stiffer springs and Koni shocks w/ Bridgstone 195/?? tires. That car felt so great compared w/ my stock '71 (cheap Cooper 165/?? tires). Of course my tail shifter could use a bushing/ball joint overhaul also.

I'd like to get the car to handle better. Where do I start? Not trying to build a race car...
