Yes... despite what many enthusiats will say, I feel that the 8kg/6kg drift
combination is quite unsuitable for less than perfect roads. As you have
found, the car will lose grip on wet or uneven surfaces. From memory I
think Oldskewltoy ran the kind of spring rates you are considering ?

The double adjustable Camaro shocks would be nice, but they are
ridiculously expensive in this part of the world. The Mustang shocks are
more reasonable, and I understand they would be good for 3~4 kg.

The local Koni specialist has suggested the Koni 8041-1067SP, as this is
readily available here, and can fit the AE86 with a small modification to
the lower mounting bush. I shall probably look at them after I have tried
the OEM KYB's on the car.
