New site for FB suspension parts
This is the site set up by the guy who made the FB front coilover package recently sold to 6 RX7club members including yours truly.
In addition to the complete front upgrade including camber plates, threaded platforms and spacers, he he added aluminum ***** for the Tokico illuminas.
Package works with Koni reds, Tokico illuminas or other stock sized shock absorbers. threaded section, it will not work with Koni Yellows etc with larger diameter body.
Check it out at www.racersareme.com

2.25 inch diameter Eibach springs from Shox.com. 7" height will give you .5 inch clearance for your fender rim over wheel, but 6" will be level if you raise the platforms.
This stated the real reason for these is for corner weighting the car.

Ummm... with the exception of the spring perches on your struts which anyone with a grinder and elementary skills as a welder can handle, Ground Control is straight bolt on unless you need really large amounts of camber. Ground Control has been making top quality stuff for reasonable prices for a long time now.

I'm trying to convince him to make a rear coilover, anyone who's interested go to the site an post an email request, if enough requests are sent he'll be more inclined.
My suggestion is to use the stock rear mounts with a similar threaded platform then use a rear strut brace to connect and reinforce the upper shock mounts. It would be installed easily by the end user.

That stuff is crazy awesome, but wasn't it cheaper in the original group buy?
And where do you go to corner weight your car? I know coilovers can actually make things worse if you don't do it. Can you buy them?

Yes you can buy them, best way is eBay as they aren't cheap, however a bit of ingenuity and a quality set of house scales can be used.
They were cheaper in the original buy but he found they took more time than he expected.
He's a good guy to deal with do not hesitate to contact Tom.
Oh and these are completely bolt in, no welding or grinding needed.

I got mine fron g-force, but they make a world of difference. Great turn in, though not legal in some classes, Solo II CSP being one of them. They usually bolt on between the bottom of the strut and control arm.

Nice looking pieces BTW. Might consider them for the streetcar buildup.
