It looks like there's two generations of cars out there. Some are coil-fronts, leaf springs rear, and drum brakes all around, others are coils all around, disc front brakes and drum rear brakes.

Not that it matters, since they're all on worn to hell tires and mis-aligned. IT would take some setup work on those rides before the technical specs of them made a difference in speeds on the track.
