Suspension of AE86 "86"

[Ivan141]

I wouldnt want to go any lower than -4cm in the netherlands, which is about the max amount of lowering a stock stroke shock can handle (well..performance type aftermarket shocks). Way to many speedbumps and other f*ing obstacles on the roads these days. Secondly, I dont really see the point in lowering the car that much any more, other than for looks.
Suspension theory shows that lowering the car by that much has more negative effects than positive anyway.
As far as springrates are concerned, go take a look on club4ag. Most people say 6 front 4 rear is about the maximum you would want to have on a street car, many have even lower springrates. I know setting your car up like a real track car seems like fun, but it just doesnt seem to work like you want it to on the street.
