It seems everyone pretty much agrees that the stock suspension is rubbish and needs to be replaced with something purple and expensive.
Even if the car in question is a daily driver and won't see much track time.
Heck, even @Tcoat has got coilovers and shit!

Am I the only one who think the stock suspension is fantastic for public roads and plenty good enough for recreational track days?

Late again. Damn work keeps interfering with my forum time. You are not alone. You are part of the silent majority. The stock suspension is fantastic. The chassis is brilliant.

Absolutely not. I get a kick out of the predictable conversations that take place at meets usually involving some aftermarket part that failed, melted, or just didn't fit.

Now, before I get beaten to shreds, let me be clear. I see some GREAT aftermarket products. Properly selected to satisfy a specific requirement and installed properly, they can work great and maybe even improve reliability.

But careful maintenance and repair aren't nearly as cool so they aren't discussed with the same enthusiasm. Not to worry, we can still buy gearshift knobs and brag about those.

Ah, I see. Well, I'm quite comfortable as an uncool old fart.

Same here; very comfortable as an uncool kid who doesn't give a shit about whatever his generation thinks is cool today.

Thank you! I mean, really, thank you. I needed that.

Me too! Let's swap stories over cold beer :-) I've got some hilarious ones :-)

That has to be 'shopped. Not because of the tires and the fenders, but because there's no way he'd kept the stock tail lights.

It's officially the ugliest mod of an 86 I've seen.
