May ne1 here explain this to me?

Well, I owned my FD for one year, and now I am driving my AE.

I found out it's sorta different when the car hit the bump on the road. it feels of much much heavier at the rear, compare to my FD.

I was told that's because of different suspensions, is it? and how's that different from the FD?

What's the AE? Is that the Anniversary Edition? Maybe I could help...I'm just not up on all the lingo.

Ya AE is the 88 10 anniversary edition one. Not sure what exactly he means about the rear suspension though. I mean it could just need to shocks/struts.

Well new shocks/coilovers, springs, and tires obviously will help with the heavy feel. You also have the DTSS "rear steer" as well back there that keeps the car firmly planted in tight curves.

I know I need new shocks on mine as it tends to bounce a bit at faster speeds.

FDs have a different suspension system.
