Have you done any research into a 'WOB' linkage for the rear axle?
It's different than a Panhard rod or Watts linkage in that it can lower the rear roll center of the solid axle to quite a bit below the center of the pumpkin.

we did talk about options on different linkage but will stick to what we have right now just a whiteline pan hard, whiteline 4 links w/ a traction bracket, will see on the first time attack next year if we need to upgrade or its working fine.

Really nice 86 man. One of my buddies actually has two in the garage right now. I am thinking about moving on one of them but it's purple!

Well thats up to you? Whats the condition of the chassis? Any accident? Body rust & how much you willing to spend or what your goal for the car is something to think about. Is it an SR5 or GTS? Alot of people got an AE86 back then and was shock on how much work you need to put to get the car back atleast on ok form. Colors is actually a small thing cuz you can always repaint it what ever color you wish, remember it dont mean its old its going to be cheap.
