Please help! Shocks wrong and car park to my mechanic...
Hi to everyone! I'm an Italian owner (with terrible English spoken ) of 3 first gen Rx-7. One is a 1980 m.y. coming from USA, one is a 1980 m.y. European and one is a 1981 European restyling.
Some weekes ago I've bought in Ebay the KYB shocks to replace in my 1980 EU. So I will need, in the front, the series H-363003. The seller have shipt to me the H-363010 that will be ok for the restlyling...
Terrible sad, my 1980 EU car is stop for a long time, but now I need to put it on the road (I've change my usually work car and I'm waiting for the new).
When I bought the USA model, the past seller have gived to me a pair of restyling original front suspension kit (shock, struts insert, brakes...): so, to use immediatly the H-363010 that I have here, I can swap with them or I will have problem of toe, camber, caster and/or the front disk are different?

Just a sec: the car is a 79/80, the shocks 4 81/85 model. Them are a little more shorter than the housings in the 2direction.
I can make 2 little cilyndres, down and upstairs to occupy the empty space, it will be ok?
