you need to check and see if the part number for an SA and for an FC are different, if they are not then you know there is a problem, the same parts will definitely not fit both.

The seller doesn't know what RX-7s are. As long as they get your money, they don't care. After that you can fark right off, what are you going to do, complain online?

Those are FC struts. Period. And any set of four struts that comes with springs and retails for $279 is probably best put right in the trash can when it gets delivered.

don't waste your money OP. get a set of GC weld on perches and some rear springs OR stretch for the good stuff (either mustang rears or T3 all corners)

After seeing the other products they sell, I wouldn't give them a dime of business!

It is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING the products that they sell as "upgrades" that either do nothing or actively make the car handle worse at best, or destroy the chassis at worst!
