not quite an ae86 but an ae82, running bilsteins coilovers with 270pound in the front ant 210 in the back .not much give on the road but works well on the track ,at times could be a little soft on the track but had to not go to hard as it is road registred and with the state of our roads shes a pretty hash ride.

Probably not a good comparosion as FWD and RWD are very different in setups.

You need soft in the rear to give traction but hard enough to provide good corner stability.
One of our race cars uses 180pound springs in the rear and the other heavier car uses 300's i think, and up to 500's in the front. These are track only cars.
