I have been buying the parts to hit the SE all at once.
I am down to swaybars and can not figure out what I should run. What brand is the best for the buck?

Also what should I put in the tranny and rear end?
I plan on changing that also.



Here is what I have sitting in the garage waiting until next month,

Eibach springs, Tokico shocks/struts, Racing Beat Streetport exhaust system, Tri Strut bar, MSD 6a, under coating, Ball joint , tie rods, and once I decide on the sway bars I am gonna order new bushings for the whole car.

 

I guess everyone that has a 1st gen has stock sway bars?

Bump^

 

I have an option to buy some for a hundred and a half, no idea what kind, probably not going to though.

 

As far as the front ones go...I'll be getting a RB unit ...

From their website:

1979-85 RX-7 Front Sway Bar (shown left above)

Our Racing Beat-designed sway bars reduce chassis roll in turns and increase the RX-7's sensitivity to steering input, thereby improving maximum cornering power. We engineer these components to provide optimal front-to-rear balance utilizing select steel alloys, controlled heat-treating, and specific bar diameter and geometry.

This 1.125 inch OD sway bar completes with mounting hardware (including high-density urethane mounting bushings and bushing lubricant) and installation instructions. All Racing Beat sway bars utilize the stock sway bar links.

you will be pleased. i had it and the racing beat strut tower brace and springs......and a bolt in auto power cage. it sure was firm in the corners. i mean with authority...it handled

 

will a bigget sway bar in the front promote more understeer??

 

Any pics of the bolt in cage?

Damn double post...

Yes Racing Beat front bar.. I still use the stock one in the rear. Another option would be Suspension Techniques or TMC.
A good synthetic MTL in the tranny but NOT in the rear diff! Use regular dino gear lube back there with a LSD additive.

 

I'm running the RB front swaybar as well. Nice difference in cornering - if you ignore the inherently sloppy steering, the cornering itself is quite firm.

 

Anyone had any experience with the Eibach kit?
