      whytf would you cut springs in an ae86? There have to be a million coilover options for those cars.
      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.

      oh yeah, don't forget that in theory, wider rear track = more oversteer.

      he picked the wrong car to be cheap on... aren't those like $2k for an "OK" condition rolling chassis?

      **** initial D and the generation it spawned.

      The rears shouldn't be too bad cuz it's a torsion beam and the pivot is not in line with the axle. So yes, moving the wheel out will still move the tire away from the pivot point, but because it's not in line, the effect will be a lot less.
      Just to crunch a few number cuz I have no idea what the real values are, say the distance from the pivot to the axle centerline is 40 cm along the swingarm, and the distance from the tire centerpoint to the swingarm is 20 cm. That puts the tire centerpoint to pivot distance at around 45 cm. Now increase the tire centerpoint to swingarm distance 2.5 cm out. That increases the tire centerpoint to swingarm distance only 1 cm more. So going from a 12.5% increase in distance from tire centerpoint to swingarm only results in a 3% increase in distance from tire to pivot point.
