Just bought an 86!
Hello, I just recently bought an 86. It is a SR5 and was wondering if I bought coilovers for it, do I need to swap out the rear for the GTS before buying the coilovers? Are the coilovers for the SR5 and GTS the same? And is it possible to do donuts in a safe area with the 4AC? Finally for engine swaps, how much would it cost to put in a FC20 and what work is involved in doing so. What things should I swap out besides the rear to make it a GTS with a FC20.

Thanks!

Ok, I figured out that the coilovers are the same. The question about FC20 swap is solved too.

Doing donuts with the 4AC would be very possible, but most probably you have an open diff which makes it a bit harder. Wink

I figure you mean F20C with FC20. This swap is about the most difficult and/or expensive swaps for the AE86. The engine alone would cost you a half a kidney and if you go for the "preconstructed" crossmember (easy way) it would add another few thousands to the total costs.
