Rear Height Adjusters?......

I was going to post this in the recent coil-over thread but I thought it might get more attention out on it's own.

I started my quest looking for a full height adjustable kit. The Respeed front kit is a no brainer for cost and effectiveness. When it came to the rear, I was turned to only find one place......www.iscracing.net

When I spoke with ISC Racing about their rear height adjusters, the represenitive said they had just sold their last set yesterday and that they are currently discontinueing all of their RX7 line and going with Miata racing supply.

Does anyone know where I could find these?

I know I could make them but my machining resources are limited.

And the million dollar question........
Is REspeed planning to continue the ISC Racing design and make these babies?

Check around on circle track supply sites likehttp://www.speedwaymotors.com
You'll find bigger spring perches but you'll probably need shorter springs to use them.

In the past we saw no reason to make them. We only saw one change that we thought would make them better and we could not manufacture them any cheaper.

After we caught wind that ISC was not going to have them any longer I called and spoke with Mike. He informed me they would no longer carry them along with most of the first generation bit he had.

We decided to work up the numbers. The rough numbers look like the kit will run $145.00. Springs will run around $110 per pair. The prices are slightly higher than ISC had them for. This is currently not at the top of my list with the rack kit and 110MM big brake kit being at the top.

We can move forward more quickly if a group buy was set up and had a number of guys looking to purchase. Say 5 kits. So, lets here some feedback and see if it warrants a GB.

The unit held in place with a bolt rather than just spring pressure.

1 confirmed and possibly 2 others?
