eBay or on-line....Your best bet look around your neighbor, shop for price first. Your lucky too at an AE87...the aftermarket stuff is great for those models.

There's no such thing as an AE87.. there's AE82s which are FWD and AE86 which are RWD, if you're referring to your car as an AE87 because the VIN number has those numbers (JT2AE87...) then you're wrong, I believe the 7 refers to the options trim of the car or the revision level of that model.

As for the springs, you can use any springs meant for the AE92s (AE98 according to my VIN number) and they should fit fine.

ive heard the springs for a 92 wont fit id like to know though. and ya its a ae82. intrax makes a set of springs for your car. ground control makes diy weld on coilover sleeves as well. Whiteline Australia makes a bunch. theres a couple other aussie companies that do.

Suspension Techniques also makes a set for the AE82s and I believe there's one more company that does.

you might be able to use the ae92 suspension? if you can use the ae92 suspension you should also be able to use the ae101 suspension.

and ren according to my vin I have an ae95 rofl, firewall says ae92
