How does SE suspension differ from GSL?
 

...other than the wheels, how does the SE suspension differ from the GSL? Both have LSD, 4 wheel discs.... how do they differ? Thanks!

Re: How does SE suspension differ from GSL?
 

Offset is different and i believe rotors and calipers are different ? Bigger I mean

The SE has larger, vented brakes as opposed to the standard GSL smaller, solid rotors.

The SE has a 40mm offset

The SE has a different, slightly stiffer spring rating

When I bought my swaybars from Racing Beat they asked if it's going on an SE, which indicates different swaybar mounting points (if not a stiffer stock swaybar on the SE)

ditto

manntis you forgot that regular rx7 is 110x4 and the se is 114.3x4 bolt pattern

;)

-SE also has a different gear ratio.. 4.077 If I recall.

the non -SE are 3.909

the se's have/had stiffer shocks too

mike

depend what year

84- 4.076
85 -4.08

but that does't matter

error 402 thanks, i didnt see it.

Will that even be noticeable ?

Just curious, im might go with a SE susp :)

Just found one that has one for sale, pretty reasonable

The swaybars have the same mounting points. The only reason they ask you is that so you don't get something smaller since the GSL-SE has a bigger swaybar in front.

Also, dependant on the year of GSL you're comparing to the SE, the mounting points on the chasis for the rear trailing links was moved 20mm lower to reduce tail happiness. This change was started on the 84 SE, and I believe was moved to all models in 1985.

No way, that would be like putting an extra 1/10 psi of pressure in your tires and trying to feel a difference.
