Ok...it seems to hold the road fine....but no way does it hold in even a slighly uneven corner, altho it is fun. Since the suspension travel has been almost eliminated...it will lift the inside rear tire up, and wheel spin, then out of the corner, slam it down. WHAM. Otherwise, when its actually got all 4 down, its...well....feels like one of those computer cars that you have way too low and stiff...except mine is too high! With it that high...it has lost its front camber, going from -3, back to about -0.5...so ive blue'ed up the outside edges of the tires! The interstate dips are not great....airborn fun. But its really rough when you only have the stock seat and seat belt, you come right out fo those.

 

Anyhow, as you will see from the pictures comming up shortly....ive got something that should be better than the first yellow springs. Got them yesterday...!

 

Front: Left to right, stock GL-10 2wd turbo wagon, 160 lbs, 12.5 inches unloaded height. 1200 lb springs, 8in. 400 lb 8in.

These are 5.5 inches in diameter. A very common diameter to find. Many different rates and heights avalible.

 

Rear: Left to right, stock 1989 RX Coupe, 179 lbs, 12 inches unloaded height. 1300 lbs, 10 inches. 400 lbs, 10 inches.

These are 2.5 inch ID coil over style springs. These are also very common, easy to find, and many different lenghts and rates avalible.

 

Note that both sets of aftermarket springs are in USED condition.

 

The rear springs are in now, im going to install the front now.
