1979 RX7 aftermarket suspension question

My brother's got a 1979 RX7 with some sort of aftermarket suspension package on it (larger/lower springs, stiffer shocks, larger swaybar etc), but doen't know who makes it. (He bought the car over ten years ago with the package on it).

He said he thougt the kit was made by a company called "B-Racing" or maybe "Racing-B" (ring any bells??)

I ask because he's trying to sell it for parts (susp. parts), but doens't know what to ask, without knowing who makes the parts and what their worth.
Could anyone tell me who might have made these parts (10 years ago) and what an otherwise worthless car might be worth?

It's a real POS with lots of body rust, a bad interior, not running and has about 3 1/2 flat tires.

Thanks!

Im not sure

I'm not sure, but make an offer, I'll take it to him and see what he says.

To give you some idea of what to offer: The rest of the car's not in very good shape. It's got no body damage, but the paint's not in very good shape, it has lots of little rust holes from sitting in the rain for the past 10 years, it doesn't run (though I have heard it run), the interior's pretty f*cked up, one of the tires is flat and the other three are bald. (the five speed tranny is in good shape though, and it comes with a new-ish clutch, and I belive, a set of better tires).

The bottom line is that he's selling it as a parts car (the whole thing only) because of the suspension package. New, the package costs about $500.00.

I'm going to post an ad on here with a picture, and discribe it just the way I did now.... Make an offer and I'll take it to him.
