bit harsh mate!
Coil overs front and rear, and with the hilux diff in the rear the weight balance wouldn't be too far out I don't think....
There was a thread on this car a couple of months ago, do a search and drag it up, has much better info on it..
As for the coilovers thats also mentioned in the thread I believe, I think they are sourced from the US, something like that...
Cheers
Wilbo

i know ur not having a go at me but ill defend myself anyway  i didnt even know anythign about this car...my mate sent me a link to the pics so i decided to share with fellow toymodders, there was no info on the page at all and yea...i apologise for wasting 15 valuble seconds for those "use the search button people" one day all the possible topics will be covered and it will only be u guy telling each other to use the search button
but on a lighter note thanx for pointing me to the right thread the rear coilover setup looks great wonder how much to get some custom made up, that site that the other thread goes to thats in the US isnt it? some of the parts they got look great, espectially that brake kit

have you weighed up the costs/trouble versus the advantages of a rear coilover setup?
not worth it at all imho

yeah i have...i figure that all the parts im gonna get from now on are gonna be more towards the top of the range....in the end its only money...and after going on the track i know that the king spring / sport kyb combo was a bad idea..i want the ability to adjust stuff... plus i imagine that modifying the top hat of a coilover cant be that hard, i havent really looked at it but anything is possible if u got a welder and grinder 
now i just gotta figure out from what car the coilover should be so that the shock / spring rates are ok...something like a silvia would probably be a good start

Actaully that aint my car, its the clone. That would be Toby's old SX. Had the same mags as mine, just not white.
As for the UZ, it is quite a marvel of engineering.
As for Bobski, use two things: search, and FAQ.

v8 in ae86 WTF
, besides totaly f**king the balance of the car i dont think a poor little sprinter chassy would deal very well with the torque of a v8 
is it so obscene that someone would just build a car that makes them happy? Who cares is it differs a little from the norm...
