Default Gymkana Suspension package

What differs between the Gymkana and a standard suspenision? Just stiffer springs or is there more.

The FE7 package includes the addition of a rear stabilizer bar, a larger front stabilizer bar, higher-rate springs with the rear being a 7-leaf vs. standard 9-leaf and heavy-duty front and rear shock absorbers.

I believe it was first offered in 1974. :)

Fun-injected. See above for details.

My car is basically a gymkhana car right now, and it's a blast. (It was also optioned as one originally.)

You can easily blow past gymkhana spec though in the aftermarket.

Anyone interested in handling & FE-7 should see 77 Facts on my website.
Larger wheels & tires could be added to FE-7.
Handling is more than suspension, also depends on the driver !
