get the car a LOT lower, more adjustability, not sure how adjusting the upper trailing arms would help as the travel is the same

I have the complete MSF front alum big bearing hubs with large AP Front brake kit no issues. He's a one man show who recently had been dealing with older parent health issues. So he does take a lot of time to get your product back to you, but it's handmade at his own shop top to bottom. ACBron are also highly recommended 1 Gen RX7 product and of high quality with a quicker return. Both are $$$ for the average hobbyist or a person on a tight budget.

ACBron disappeared during covid in 2020, don't know what happened to him.

I tried to buy upgraded hubs from MSF and while he was quick to respond when arranging payment, I heard nothing for about a year until I issued a refund. Someone on the forum received hubs so I guess it's the luck of the draw.

I haven't looked up coilover kits for the 1st gen in a long time. These showed up when I was just browsing looking for parts for the 1st gen. What do you guys think of the rear design?
