Mazda 808 S2 RX7 Struts?

Hey guys, just curious if anybody can give me a definitive answer. I have a 1973 Mazda 808 1600. From what I gather, the suspension and brakes in the front are identical to an RX3. I would like to use S2 RX7 Struts and brakes to lower it and gain better brakes.

My 83 rx7 parts car has RB springs in it. Will these be too low? I already own them and the brakes are all new so I was hoping to utilize them. I have ordered Cusco camber plates I had plans to use. I'm reading I may need to mill the strut tube? Also my brake line will have a different thread pitch.

Anything else I'm missing? I've seen mention of sway bar blocks?

Thank you! If anybody has insight on how low I'll be in all ears. Also, is there any rear block kits available in North America that will bolt in?
