Coil Spring Question ??
I have some Tokico 5-way adjustable shocks on my AE86, but just have the stocks springs. I have played around with the adjustments, but most run on 5 (stiffest) setting even for daily drive since it feels the best. - It may be a little harsh at times, but I was thinking this might just be because of the springs. They are just he stock springs.

I was wondering how I should choose springs for the car. I don't care about lowering it, just curious if there is something that would complement the shocks better that was not too expensive. I see a lot of inexpensive D1 springs on ebay.

Forget ebay D1 springs. Try a set of thicker swaybars, that should do the trick.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear

I will do sway bar and bushings later in the summer. Right now I was looking at doing springs since I am doing rotors and ball joints. Thought I would dive in further and remove the strut and replace the springs.

I think I definitely need a stiffer spring. - Would the D1 be a good spring over the stock springs? They said the are just like Tanabe's: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...MEWAX%3AIT

Also these D1 say a 1.8" drop, which seems like a lot. Has anyone used these springs?

What other adjustments or mods would I have to make if I bought some of these?

Quick follow up to above post: What adjustments would need to be made, if any, for springs that would drop this much?
