Default Re: Suspension Suggestions

On my '90 LX 4cyl Hatch I'm currently running:
FMS "B" springs (GT springs I think)
Koni Red shocks & struts (set way to stiff right now)
Eibach anti sway bars (36mm front / 24mm rear)
Steeda CC plates
Ploy bushings (everywhere except axle end of UCA's)
16x8 Cobra lookalike rims
BFG Radial T/A P235-60's all around
5.0 spindles & rotors w/Lincoln 72mm calipers in front
currently stock drums in rear (Turbo Coupe rear disk swap coming soon)

For the street I'm really happy with this setup, after I adjust the shocks/struts again the ride should be a little stiffer than a stock GT, cornering is improved so much over the stock 4cyl parts I could not believe it. I can now run the curves with my friends '74 Porsche 911 (but he still kills me in acceleration). In stock 90hp 4cyl form, down to the P185-70 tires, I had a real bad understeer, after the changes its almost nuteral with a small, predictable oversteer. Adding power will make the oversteer worse but I still have room for bigger tires in the back so I may be able to get back to where I'm at now.
