I bought this '86 due to fiberglass withdrawal syndrome. The '86 is NOT a cherry. My reason for looking for springs is that the front is sagging low enough to rub the upper wheel wells on bumps. I figure since I need to swap the spring out I'll go w/ an upgrade, if I can find some nice priced springs. I agree w/ you on keeping things matched with the right shocks, and the condition of the bushings throughout the susp's. Thanks for putting iin the time to help think this thru. And thanks to all others for helping out as well!
Bob, since you may be on a budget, a set of KYB shocks will get you thru 2-3 years and are inexpensive. They're not great on the track but they are OK on the street.
