Heya everyone, it's been a while since I've been around. I got my AE86 back in July and it has been idle (apart from the odd start up and drive around the block) ever since. I am taking my test in January and hope to sort out the suspension before I pass (fingers crossed) I know that the rear near side arch is scraping a little (hence why I want to sort it) I believe the problem is the wheels, due to not being standard, being a little too wide for the arch. I believe an adjustable panhard rod could fix this problem but I figured if im going to do something to solve that I might aswell redo the whole thing.
The problem here is where to start. I think some new bushes is in order, along with some new springs, shocks, top mounts and strut bars, which ones to go for is also a problem. yet i'm unsure what else I may need for the proccess. I was wondering if anyone here could recommend them to me. Without looking under the car though i'm not entirely sure what is essential.
Fitting could also be a problem. I feel fairly confident that with the right tools I could fit it all myself but then the wheel alignment could cause some problems at the end of it all. I wouldnt know how to check. Just in case though can anyone recommend a place in the guildford/woking area to fit it all for me?
Thanks in advance for any help. JZHR
