RX7 type R? R2? RB? X? Z? S?
I'm looking for a J Spec FD and the import sights I'm looking at have all of these different type designations. I assume that they are various packages, with R and R2 possibly being the racing or Hi performance modles. Also what is the story about the R1's I heard those are the ones you want to grab if your looking for the best performer. I will be in Japan for the next 3 years so I plan on picking up a FD there. Just trying to do the home work on what to look for.

Also, since these cars are going on ten years old hear in the states there is a good chance that the stock suspension is either bad or has already been changed out on any car that you will find on the market.
I feel that for someone shopping for a seven today on the used market this is really a mute point.
