I find it much more enjoyable to add mods one by one and see the result of each. You can save a lot of money by having an end game in mind though. Like for example, you wouldn't want to install regular Konis now and then decide to go into SSC and have to buy another set of the sealed SSC Konis later. |

Now STX, pretty well none of the above applies and you can even screw up the car with a pourly selected set of coilovers, generally speaking. |

Quick question just to make sure I am understanding something. We can change the struts/shocks but can we change the springs as well or must they remain stock?

Springs must stay stock. Unless it says you can, you can't

Are you running the 5mm spacers with the stock studs? |

I'd suggest not doing that. 3mm is about the max for safe thread engagement with stock studs.

I am planning on running my 86 in CS in 2020. I ran it in DS this year. My current mods are Toyota camber bolts, a TRD front bar and RE71s. The car felt great and would rotate on demand. I will install the TRD springs and rear sway bar. I have a couple of questions.
1. Are the Sachs struts ok with the TRD springs? I have had several sets of Konis on other cars and was unimpressed with the quality of the last 2 sets that I had. I would prefer to keep my stock struts or go with Cuscos. 2. I have a 22mm Perrin front bar also. Is this too much front bar for the TRD rear bar? I felt it was too much for the stock rear bar and springs. 3. Is there a preferred alignment with the CS mods? |

2. It depends on driving style and other set up choices. I am running both TRD bars and am content with it. I have previously run a 25mm Hotchkis and 19mm Perrin with success. I will eventually switch to the Karcepts trick bar, but I think you will be fine with the 22mm on soft. 3. Max camber, very slight toe out in front, 0 toe or very slight toe in in the rear. I'm also switching back to CS this year, so let's see if we can surprise some NDs and S2ks! |

Coming from a WRX, this car is just so much fun to drive. I want to be competitive but, mainly have fun. I was beating the NDs and Fiats in DS configuration, so I think that CS will be even more fun. Thanks for the input. I will probably try the TRD front bar first and see if I need more. |

Might be a stupid question, but how do you guys (Biggins and Mball19) switch between CS and DS?

It's called out in Appendix A for both CS/DS citing with/without TRD pack. Edit: I didn't realize the 86 without TRD stuff was classed in DS which is nice, I think it's got a better shot at being a dark horse in that class by being more agile than the souped up economy cars whereas the ND Miata is just better in CS. But hey as above make the car fun and who cares, stiffer springs and sways should help with the camber wear and transitions. |
