This is a case where the suspension is stiffer than the rest of the car.

I would set the Koni's at full soft... see what that does. In short, the ride is too firm.

I am also not sure that a super stiff rear spring is good. The 84 FE1 spring is killer... higher than the later Z51 rear springs! Too high to be practical and leads to oversteer. I don't like a suspension on the street that is too stiff. Just impractical and potentially dangerious.

That corner is a bitch at 70 mph when you hit a bump... the sudden redirection is enough to make me lose my lunch.


That's for sure. If your stiff springs skate over that bump, just think what would happen when the road's wet.
