Wow looks like Billy does it again! I'm going to have to buy more stuff from him right away here. I wonder what springs need to be used with this kit? |
Damn those was just added today so if someone already has them they truely have great shipping. LOL
|
does billy do group buys. if so maybe we can get one going. im assuming they will work with the eibach springs. maybe billy will chime in with the correct info for us
|
they seem jsut like regular coilover style. so im guessing the eibach, swift, isc racing springs, g-force, mazdatrix or watever coil over springs will work. its just finding the right hight of the springs u want.
|
Hey guys, yes these are for 2.5" ID coil over springs. I would suggest 6" or 7" long. 6" for the higher spring rates. You should really check your setup though.
These are our "Street / Race" setup. They sit on top of the stock perch. No welding needed. Bolt on and go. The pure "Race" kit will be out in a few days. just waiting on a laser quote to come in. This kit will require cutting the old perch off and welding a new one on. If someone wants to start a thread in the GB Interest section for these we can see what happens. I can go a little off the retail if we get enough guys. Happy Holidays, -billy |
Oh yea..... Roll center spacers are out as well as a new oil filter block off billet.
-billy |
Any suggestions on a source for the springs needed?
|
Perfect! I was holding out getting your camber plates til these came out. Will you give a package deal?

aw man...i just bought camber plates from them too/...
so how bout it? someone gonna start the GB interest? |
never been part of a gb before what kind of hoops do we have to jump through to get one started. im assuming the first step is getting it approved by the vendor first correct?
|
I just sent a PM to Billy about it. I'll get the info together for the GB or Coilover/Camber Plate package deal and set it up. I'm waiting to hear back from him now.

ISCRacing.net has them too. $48/each. They are an RX-7 and Miata racing extablishment. http://www.iscracing.net/1stgenparts.htm |
wow this is amazing! what good timing! If i can get my crap together, i'm definetly in for some of the stree/ race coilovers and a set of camber plates!
respeed rocks! ~b.k. |
I'm interested in these for sure. One thing that confuses me is why the weld on version is cheaper than the "street" version. According to the parts list the weld on version has more pieces... Not that I'm complaining, as thats the one I'm interested in ;) Wish I had more cash, i wanna buy the camber plates while they are still on sale....
|
Too bad these weren't out in time for Christmas! I guess I'll have to work a little overtime this next month so I can get my fix... :)

All I ask is that everyone understand, bringing products to the market takes a great deal of time. Since I am currently responsible for two other companies besides ReSpeed, sometimes it may seem like our new products take their sweet time to come out. Just understand we are always working to get them on the market.

Ok thats pretty much what I figured, after thinking about it some more. Looks like the old credit card is gonna be hurting after this one ;)

Group Buy information and interest set up here:
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...83#post6460383 Please indicate your interest there so that we can set it up. I've talked with Billy and I'll update the thread as I continue to get more info from him or the forum on the GB setup. |
RE Speed Coilover Package
Guys,
I would definately be in on a group buy. If there is not enough interest, I will buy them direct. Those pieces look like they are well worth the money, and I can finally correct most of the inherent steering geometry problems with my FB SE. Shoot me a PM or email at sergiosavoy@netscape.net. Sergio -evita- |

I've heard that turn in spacers reduce the turning radius, is this true of the respeed ones I wonder?
|
Turn In Spacers
Yes, the turn in spacers increase the turning radius because they help to correct the inherent ackerman problems that the FB front suspension has. If you do a search on ackerman you will find a discussion about it and other suspension geometry problems.
|
Details of the GB here as well.
$250 for camber plates and Street/Race coil overs. OR $320 will include 1" Roll Center blocks $230 for camber plates and Road Race coil overs. OR $300 will include 1" Roll Center blocks. Please go to: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...83#post6460383 And indicate on that post if you'd like to be in on the group buy. |
With out getting to deep into this our blocks correct the Roll Center on lowered vehicles. When a vehicle is lowered the relationship of the outer pick up point to the inner pivot point of the control arms is changed. The inner pivot will drop closer to the ground where as the outer does not.
The roll center is the point where an imaginary line drawn through the lower control arms intersects the vehicle centerline. If the control arms are angled down then the roll center is above the inner pivot points. If the control arm is horizontal to the ground the roll center is equal to the inner pivot point. If the control arm is angled up the roll center is below the inner pivot point and could be under ground. The further away the roll center is from the center of gravity of the vehicle the more leverage the body has to roll in a corner. More leverage means it takes bigger sway bars and higher rate springs to stop it. The vehicle body while cornering will roll along the roll axis. Roll axis is a line drawn from rear roll center to the front roll center. Your rear roll center is either at the height of you watts linkage (For stock guys) or a panhard if you have installed one. There are also problems with your bump steer changing. Our blocks go between the steering arm and the strut housing to space the outer pick up point back down. -billy |
Hmm, so do they reduce the turning radius then? I was talking to rx7carl a while back and he has the G force engineering ones, and says that it does reduce the turning radius enough that he wouldn't use them in his street car, just his race car. Seeing as theres not many ways to make these things i'd assume the same is true here... Either way, intersting stuff....
|
I might be interested in a group buy but someon has to buy them and give feed back before I would be willing to jump in on a new product. Not that i dout the quality of the product or anything billy. I would just like someone to use them before i put any money in to them. Keep up the good work billy.

The blocks we currently offer do not change the turning radius. These are street style blocks that are through bolted. We will have race blocks out later this month. -billy |
Billy,
Handling wise, which one would be better for the RX-3 with FB struts/GC coil-over kit/tokico 7" springs on RESpeed camber kti plus a 1" aluminum triangular spacer (similar to the stocker)? 1" or 1.5" http://www.mrcmfg.com/respeed/catalog/ |

Replied to your pm also. -billy |
Ah so they don't change the turning radius then.... Looks like I'll be buying a set after all. :)

-billy I just placed my order for 2 sets. Thanks Mel |
ok, what spring rates and sizes would you recommend for street use with occasional autocross and track use?
also, what shocks to use? can tokico hp's dampen springs of too heavy a poundage? |
more ppl should get in on this group buy!!
|
RE Coilovers
Hopefully more people will get interested!
I plan on running 350 lb 7in springs front, and the racing beat springs in rear. I will keep the HP blues in the rear, but run the Tokico BZ1069 adjustables in the front. |
what is the car gonna be used for??^^
BUMP |
Car is going to be used mainly for track events as well as for kidney massaging and tooth filling removal. I've driven it around with a set of TMC springs, Tokico Blues, and all poly bushings in the front end, and I'm ready to take it to the next level.

I do not believe the current replacment shocks for rx7's will dampen the higher spring rates. I still need to do some shock dyno testing to find a good line. -billy |
Billy, so what springs would you suggest for a street car?
|
Billy,
You are more than correct. I am planning to put in a set of Tokico BZ1069's at first, but then go in with a set of custom valved koni's later. I guess for now I might just buy some 300 lb springs as this is just over double over the TMC springs that are in there. At 300 lbs, would you recommend 6 or 7 inch 2.5 ID springs? The car will be running on 14 inch wheels (track), and some 15 inchers (street). Sergio |
^bump
i plan to run with 350lbs fronts with illumina inserts. this is for my daily too |
