    Default 1986 Reynard SF springs

    In rebuilding my recently purchased Reynard I have been contemplating which springs to go with and purchasing shocks valved to the springs. The car has been sitting for 10 years and came with 400# Hypercoils on the front. The rears are old and rusty and of undetermined #s. Anyone who is running or has run one of these care to share your thoughts on what springs I should go with? I would appreciate any input. Thank you in advance!

    isint this the year/model with the falling rate push rods? If so I would think finding correct spring rates should be very difficult for this car. If not buy a couple of sets up and down from what LBS is on there now.

    Default Reynard

    A correct 86 is a rare 'interim' car. Rockers both ends. Evolved into the much loved FF/SF 87-91.

    It would be an 85 if it has pushrods. Google the Bridgestone Racing Academy. (Mosport)
    There may be some old pictures.
