I'm getting a new suspension for my GSL-SE, and I'm looking at various struts. I'm going with Racing Beat springs, and I'll probably get Tokico HP struts, but I'm trying to keep my options open.

The GR-2 seems to be a good stock-like replacement, not to mention that it's cheap. However, some stores list that it works with all 81-85 RX-7's except for the SE, and some list that it works with all 81-85's including the SE, and they list the same part numbers. So, does anyone know for sure?

I'm trying to restore some of the handling to my SE, but it's for having fun on the street, it probably won't see any autocrosses or track time, I have the Miata for that.

 

Go with the Tokico HP's, the GR2's won't hold up with the RB springs. The GR2's are barely stock in performance.

 

I have GR-2's on my car, with older Tokico springs. The shocks are WAY too soft, and the front struts are just ok. Rides good, but bottoms easily over medium bumps, which are the standard here in Oklahoma................

 

Alrighty. HP's it is.

Poor Miata, it will have to wait for its supsension... (it's getting Bilstein HD's)
