Rear coil over thoughts...

[domi]

Overall, i've been hearing the best comments on what appears to be close to my target combination of daily/track to be 6.25/4.5 or 6.5/4.25. Now, you will be hearing a lot of people saying that it depends on what you're aiming at, those numbers are for mainly daily with occasional drack action. Do what feels right, if you know people in your area with different suspensions - ask them for their experience, if worse comes to worst offer them beer in exchange for a ride
Seriously though, consider non-coil over rear suspension as well. I'm thinking over suspension stuff for my car as well and am almost decided not to go coilover. Truth be told - the rear of the hachi is designed for seperate springs and dampers and there is a chance the springs which will be carrying most of the load when going straight and about all the time load is not shifting around[which, let's face it, is most of a car's life... for most cars] in which case transferring the springs on the holding perches designed for dampers alone might be too much. I can't recall a case of the support actually braking with coilovers, all besides one which happened in a crash and is not counted, but still - the possibility is there and in the endless search for relieving a 20 year old car from as much stress as possible - i'd say go for seperates. I hope the gurus correct me if my assumptions are wrong.

P.S. I've recently moved to the US and the one think that i can almost respect in most people here is the fact that they go about life based on 'gut feeling.' Although highly irrational, it may be best that you proceed in your suspension endevour with gut feelings first - customizing cars is all about individuality and besides that - it'll be your guts that suffer all suspension irregularities
