Indeed. Tony (pictured top right on the homepage) really knows his stuff.There are other places where you can get alignment done but few that will bother to ask what you use the car for and discuss/advise accordingly. A weekend fun/track day toy will be different from a daily driver.

wheels inmotion did my MR2, and are great guys. Top equipment too.
Mine too. It's a 100 mile round trip for me but well worth it. Tein make terrible suspension - FACT!
Binning that will be the first thing to do, and then research which brands work well on the car. You might well have to find your own way with it though since I'm not sure how many non-Jap manufacturers make suspension for the car?
If you don't want to travel too far then Plans Motorsport come highly recommended. They do full corner weighting and alignment, and best of all, there is not an alignment laser in sight at their workshop.

Well it's all subjective really. The average Jap car owner will "feel" massive improvements by fitting Tein suspension over stock suspension. This is just because the suspension is rock-hard though. The car will probably not actually handle much better.Don't get me wrong, Tein have their place in the market for the youngster with a Jap car who wants to stiffen up the handling a bit, but the comments you will here from Tein owners will nearly always be good because they have nothing to compare the handling with except the stock suspension.
How many sets of Tein suspension do you see in motorsport outside of Time Attack?
All Tein do is run massively high spring-rates, which in turn puts more load on the tyre as that begins to take over the job of the suspension. It will give an "on rails" feel, but a car on proper motorsport-derived suspension with realistic spring rates will out-handle a Tein car every time!
Just IMO though.

Sounds like you know alot about this stuff. What Brands do you recommend?

i am tempted to agree with him... i am familiar with intrax ohlin penske at exetec.
intrax and extec being the best for road use... but who makes what for the 3000gto...
should i just bin the car,,
exe-tc are FANTASTIC. In my opinion, they are the best suspension company in the business.intrax and extec being the best for road use... but who makes what for the 3000gto...

I run exe-tc circuit and track suspension on my Evo 9. I have used their suspension for a few years. The only problem is that they only build suspension for a limited range of road cars. The rest of their work is based around motorsport where budgets are higher and they can develop bespoke kits.
Incidentally I look after their website now these days after meeting the owner and getting talking when my car was down their for a setup. This has nothing to do with my opinion on their quality though. A quick look at their news items on the front page will show you how good they are at what they do.
