I started this thread to get some pictures of our members rides that have been lowered 1" etc. Can everyone please post a picture of their RX-7 and the amount it has been lowered front and rear? I recently just did my own and it turned out a LOT lower than I expected and want to get an idea on how low mine is in comparison to others so I can find my own personal medium when I buy new rear springs (running coilovers already up front). I think my original springs really sagged and now I'm not sure what normal is.

 

Well start the thread with your ride, show pics

 

Please also post your setup. What springs, shocks, wheel size, and basic settings to get the height. TIA!

 

63mm lowered front springs (2.25") 90mm (3.75") lowered rear springs. KYB shocks, rear bumpstops cut 20mm

1st Pic - 15"x7"s with 195/50 front and 205/50 rear
2nd Pic - 17"x7"s with 205/40 front and 215/40 rear

 

Something about your 15"s looks a bit lower stance wise than the 17"s.
Nice clean car bro.

 

beautiful! where did you get the springs at?
I love the stance on the 15s, looks so mean

 

That's a really clean Series 1. Good stuff.

 

My springs were locally made in Aus. Got rid of the 15"s only because they didn't fit inside the guards very well at the front I am considering going even lower at the rear and can now have the front at any height I want with the coilovers installed.

 

Thanks for the replies, I took some pictures. After seeing FIBERMAZ's car, I am beginning to think my rear springs are actually 3" drop... oh boy.

Here are some pictures... what do you all think:




This is when it was on its stock springs:

I was thinking of getting some RB 1" drop rear springs and raising the GC setup to match... I think what I have now is too low? The ride is pretty harsh because it has full poly and tokiko illumina's.

 

I'd like to see a car with a RB 1" drop springs to see how they compare to mine with the stock sagging springs if anyone has any.

 

i have rb springs but not installed yet

 

I have racing beat springs with KYB shocks, and racing beat front and rear sway bars. Ill post some pics up in a few.

Let me get home and I'll push the gray beast out of the garage for a pic...I'm running the RB springs straight out of the catalog in the rear.

 

One Inch drop with the racing beat springs

 

that is a beautiful car.

 

RB springs from Mazdatrix catalog PN H-14019 with KYB G2 shocks in rear...addition of rear custom bass boxes this Summer will get the drop right where I want it, though it's close now...15" Weds Autobahn wheel with Kuhmo 225/50 tire.

 

Nice... that's just about the drop I want. I'm going to get myself some rear RB springs to go with my coilovers. Thanks man

 

*Chuckles* I cant even think of lowering my RX7 any lower! The roads in this province are terrible! I'd bottom out even on 'flat' ground

 

Funny how it's normally a bunch of red FB's we see in these threads and this time it was a plethora of metallic silver cars...

Nice change, I sez....
