Are there any other FB suspension options?
I have been looking for a new suspension for a while and have no idea what to buy. I own a 1984 GSL. I really dont want Tokicos, Kyb or Koni but, I do like the Koni coilovers I have seen. I have found one site that sells the Koni coils but I really dont want to buy form them. Do any of y'all know of any other coil over front setups, struts, or just good suspensions?

Thanks! Their Hp street sports dont look bad or do the Illumia race insets.
I was going to do something un orthodox. I was going to use ride tech shocks and springs in the rear and I was just looking for something for the front.
I had found these.

I just dont know if they are a reliable store to buy from and they are a little expensive.

If you can still get the big tube spindles from G Force then they are a great way to go. I have never heard of any issues getting stuff from them and their understanding of FB race suspensions is top notch. All of the fast IT RX7's have their parts/setup on them.
It is possible to make your own big tube spindles but this takes a lathe and a mill to get it done.

I was also considering Gforce when I found Respeed. Glad I made the choice that I did.
You say that you don't want Tokico shocks, and I was wondering why that was. I've been using them for years and love them.
I run Bilstein shocks in the rear, along with the adjustable perches from Respeed. If you are interested in using a shock like this, Sam from Respeed has all the details and can probably get you set up. In fact, if you can't find what you want at their site, just ask Sam. He's really great about taking requests for special (even specially made) parts for us.

What is your application - street, racing, both?
I have had Tokico's and Koni's in my racecar. Between the two the Tokico's were the best for street use and for Solo. The Koni's are better for race track use because they handle higher spring rates than the Tokico's.
I wouldn't let brand name or looks sway your opinion. What is proven to work is what you want to install. Talk to the experts at G Force, ReSpeed, Mazdatrix and then make a decision.

I emailed Re-speed. What kind of bilsteins do you have in the rear? I am looking for street and track use. I will email Gforce just to see if they are still in production.
