Abe, how can you possibly compare mixed and matched shocks on stock springs with a matched set on higher springrates. The springrates will make the car turn mutch more easily, be more responsive etc etc.

A truly well matched and designed setup will have high springrates (6+ fronts and 4+ rears) and STILL be comfortable around the streets. The car will NOT feel very stiff or bouncy. Try an Ohlins equipped car and you'll know how quality feels. In fact..the car will feel MORE comfortable then stock on ordinary roads, despite the springrates being 10 times stiffer then stock.

With that said, so far all the AE86 setups i've seen are ghetto stuff, with zero to no engineering done. Fine for track, but unbearable on the street.

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