Aights, You have a Macpherson Strut Front Suspension, and 4-Link Rear.
In the front... I suggest a Coilover conversion, A article about this is written on club4ag.com... Or normal springs, you can use TRD and Eibach For struts, you can use Tokico,TRD, and some others.... In the rear... Battle verison makes replacement multi links for AE86...highly suggested... Shocks are the same as front... and springs... well.. TRD race, Eibach and umm... ATTENTION!! AE86 IS A 15-20 YEAR OLD CAR... IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO REPLACE ALL BUSHINGS BEFORE DOING ANTHING TO THE SUSPENSION...AFTERMARKETWISE... The best thing any racer can do for their car... is READ ... just read as much as possiable... look through the manul... find other books about the AE86... hope that helped... |

coo! got ask have you decided on what color you want to paint the car. I went for a strang color on mine the "taffeta white" from the 04 civic si it s going to look good with some powder coated old schoo supra rims.

Eibach=ghey. If you're in the market for cheap beginner springs try out espelir. If you have enough money I HIGHLY recommend TRD.
