Racing beat springs no coils cut and tokico blue shocks:

They raised my car about an inch when I had mine. If you are looking for any kind of drop, you'll have to find some of the more rare springs (like King) and put up with a very rough ride, or look into coilovers (www.re-speed.com).

I just wanted tot ake a time out and say, god damn your car is nice.

Mine dropped an inch, but most people seem to report a raise in height.

which wheels are those... i kind of like them

Measure the bottom center of the wheel arches to the ground. Distance after lowering springs will be about 24" with stock tires/wheels.

most people report a raise in height because their suspension is over 25 years old and worn out. when you put the new suspension on it will raise it from a bottomed out suspension but it will still be a little lower from a new OEM suspension.

damn straight.

And.....that red car looks SWEET!!!

Thanks RX7Project and DriveFast7! :)

Ask no questions, just trust us on this..... :)

what spring rate should i get

Again, talk to Billy at ReSpeed. Tell him what your use and expectations for the car is. He will recommend the appropriate rates.

The new racing beat springs SHOULD settle also after a few weeks/months and be a bit lower.
