My 86 SE with the complete Fiero Store Handling Package (2" Eibach 400# lowering springs, full poly, front and rear anti- bars, KYB shocks and struts) exhibited very little roll and no bump steer.
The secret to controlling bump steer on the pre-88' is simply to control suspension travel.
The early Fieros can be made to handle well with proper selection of off the shelf parts, and the Fiero Store Handling Package is one of the options.
With all that said, my 4.9 Cadillac powered 88 Formula, with stock suspension, handles as well or better than the 86 did, has better ride and turn-in, and feels much better on uneven and rough surfaces.
The addition of FieroGuru's 13" brake package to the car has solved the one issue the car had.

I will say, for all the shortcomings of the Hiro Coilovers, they really did change the entire car. On the street, it corners dead flat. It's pretty impressive. Just not great for tracks with tighter turns like my local one. I'm excited for the fierostore to get more rear sways in stock.

Do you have the Fiero Store front bar on it now?
Did you upgrade to the faster GT rack?[This message has been edited by olejoedad (edited 06-25-2024).]

no and nope. I'm waiting for the rear bar to be back in stock and I'll upgrade both ends at the same time. I don't know if attempting to source a GT rack and installing it would be entirely worth the effort

My 86 SE had the slow rack in it from the factory.
I replaced it with the faster GT rack.
It was very much worth the time effort and money.
Good plan on the Fiero Store bars.

what's the difference? half or full turn? Full turn would be worth trying to source one.

GT is 2.5 turns, otherwise it is 3.0 turns.
All 88's are 2.75 turns.

On the HIRO coilovers on the front.......
How do you have the shock part of the coilovers attached to the LCA?

Are you going to use Rodney's zero lash links?

At some point probably, but I don't really know how helpful those will be for me. The suspension on this is never going to be so fine tuned that it needs sway bar adjustments.
