it depends on which model you have, but its something like 2kg front and 1.9 rear. the Eibach/Mazdaspeed set is 3.6/3.4 and most coil over sets are 8/6

I have an 87 TII BUT its now an ls1 6 speed and i bought car as a hull for rear end mainly but it was so good a car decided to build it instead of the 91 conv. problem is someone put new tokico struts and TEIN lowering springs and i do not like the ride at all. its drives like a sti wrx subaru bouncy and choppy, I prefer milder ride. so lower ride height looks cool but i think i need a softer spring rate. What would you go with I dont want a marshmellow nor to wear a neck brace.... put 225-60-16 on rear to help 4.10/4.30diff and stock 205-55-16 up front. perfect feel would be c-6/c-7 vette feel, newer honda / lexus feel is my goal

the Mazdapseed/Eibach set with the Tokicos is quite good

if you want it to feel like a new car put the stock springs in, and then stack a bunch of bumpstops https://5xracing.com/i-20915224-5x-r...tegory:1231774
until there is like 1/4" of travel...
