Just installed some springs I got off a friend of mine. Are these Racing Beat springs? They look like it. I've had them laying around awhile. It dropped the car about 1" all around.

Did front brake pads as well. Rear pads were already replaced. KVR carbon fiber pads.

Struts removed. Impact wrench and double pulley alt. install at same time! Wooot!



Front



Rear



RX-7 after install. The 98 stang is in the background. Look how much lower the rx7 is!!

 

hmmm, rear pic didn't make it. ah well.

 

Lokks good..how much you pay for springs?

 

****.. my springs must be really shot, because my car is that low on the stock springs... damn i need new suspension.

crafoo: how easy of an install were those springs?

 

My car sits that low... worn out factory springs...

(that's my car in my new avatar BTW)

 

my gslse looks more lower that your car

 

My '79 GS sits about there on worn-out factory springs.... hmmmm, that reminds me.... maybe I should replace those....

How was the rear spring install? What did you use to compress them to remove em?

 

they look just like the racing beat springs i just put on, so i assume they are. and. . .


if it's anything like an 84 -se, the rear is easier than front, the hardest part is getting the rusted bolts free. for the front ones, you can rent spring compressors from champion or probably some other parts stores
