B&G springs (advertised 1.4in drop)
Illumina Adjustable shox (I usually keep them on 2 all around for the street and 4 all around for better performance)
Stock front and rear swaybars with poly bushings.
Planning to add poly bushings to the front and replace all the rear ones with stock rubber when I swap the axle.
Right now the car handles like its on rails. Very controllable, and I can bring out the rear without just whipping into a spin.

Airflow is my life
Streetcar- ST progressive springs, cheap JC whitney shocks/struts, poly bushings up front, pbandj modded rear. Too soft for my liking, need stiffer springs/strut/shocks.
Racecar- full gforceengineering setup, illuminas, eibachs w/2 1/2" front coilovers. Handles like its on rails.

350# Springs
Coil-overs
Camber Plates (solid upper bushing)
Adjustable Front Sway Bar
Upper Strut Bar
Full Urethane Bushings
Carerra Shocks
Akerman Spacers
Rear:
Cut Rear Springs
Tokico Shocks
No Sway Bar
Sphearicly Bushed WATT's Link

With the coil overs cranked up the car is tolerable on the street. No worse than my Prelude was with race seats, although I refuse to put in either of my race seats until the RX-7 is no longer my daily driver. With some proper adjustment, just about anything is drivable on the street. Crank those coil overs down though, and it's a totally different story.
