Coilover install results
Well here's the pics of the car after the install(see thread link for details) https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/coilover-progress-pics-part1-526720/
The front is 4.5 inches off the ground and the gap between the fender and the tire is about 5/8 of an inch.
Front tires are 205/50/15.
I wanted to go lower but I need to roll out the fender and cut the rear fenders and install my Fender Flares.
Eibach rear 200# springs on the back with a single coil cut off, gonna go another coil after I cut the fenders.
Now the Slammed is on for the GSL!
Watcha think!

Are you sure all your tie rods, bushings and idler arm are in good shape?
You can check your own toe by using a tape measure across the front of the tires and then again at the rear using a constant point to measure from. The difference is you toe, excess on front is toe out, excess of rear toe in....

www.racersareme.com This is what i used for the front. Nice units at a good price.
I would recommend Konis over Illuminas despite the adjustment difficulties.
