As far as I'm aware nobody makes an inverted damper for the rear of the 86, and that's true for most double wishbone/multi-link suspension designs.
Yes. B14/B16 kit comes with front springs that level out to 4.5kg/mm and rears at 7.0kg/mm, but I've heard +/- 100# (2k) springs can be acceptable, less ideal but sometimes the need for spring rate dominates. I wouldn't hesitate to go up to 7k front and 8k rear and you could probably push a little beyond that, worst case the damping can't keep up and the ride suffers.
Racecomp has done it too iirc, there's a few posts floating around here. I wouldn't mess around with the KW camber plates, I had a bad failure on another platform with their design, if you can import Raceseng camber plates affordably that would be ideal imho.

It would be interesting, maybe a 7k squared or a 6k 7k, problem is to guess the right spring length to keep a decent height range as these seems to be a bit travel limited like every monotube basically....any tips?
