I'm surprised that the front would be stiffer than the rear since only  <>45% of the weight is up front.  Something I've noticed about 86's is that they have less wheel clearance at the top than the 85, 87 and 88.  Almost totally across the board, it seems like 86's sit lower in the front. 

If you need some rear 88's to play with, I have a low mileage pair.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Chuck W. told me, when he was racing his Formula at Road Atlanta, that the stock back springs weren't bad, but the fronts were much too soft. Seems to fly in the face of logic, but whatever...

So, are any front springs available? I find that I need a pair for my 85.

I have the set that I tried to give to Raydar.   Turns out it DIDN'T have the WS6 suspension....instead it had F41 and Y99 (Suspension, heavy duty, front and rear....and Special Rally suspension package). The springs were IDed as FJA.  Would be the stiffest non-WS6 springs.  If you need them, I can bring them to the meeting Saturday.
