Suspension options?

Ok, I've got an 80 RX7. I saw that racing beat sells some Eiback springs for it but they only sell the fronts. I haven't really been able to find many other options. I plan on swapping to a GSL-SE rear end(the whole assy.) and swapping the front as well to keep the 4x114.3 on all four corners. Is there any company that makes a good set of coilovers? I's just trying to find the best setup that I can. Any help is greatly appreciated.

you can get coilover perches for the front that are an easy conversion for your stock struts, not sure whats available for the rear as it's a free coil, not a captured one as on a strut.

I'm making mine fit rear coilovers, enlarging the rear upper mounts and using more solid material to mount them. This is a major undertaking though and requires welding skills.

Hey bwaits, I only saw bushings, coils, caster/camber and shocks for 1g on your site... do you handle coilover perches as well?

aussie -

Am I correct in assuming that the coilover perches from racersareme.com won't work for a 2.5" coil? I allready have the uppers, camber plates and 2.5" coils.

lol. Yeah, I know...... I would like to see that. Although, I'd like to have mine done before July. We'll see how it goes though.

Everyone else, thanks for the info!
