Hey guiltysoul i love stock bbs wheels and they look good on your car. Much rather rock those than stock s4 t2 wheels anyday.

 

Man that's so cool looking!

I love that car so much

 

Currently under construction, these pictures were taken last year.

 

Need to roll the fenders and then max out my tein coilovers.

 

Sorry for the horrible snowing picture. I'll get some better ones when the weather is a little better and after a good wash.

 

We need to get together again when its not so damn cold! Can't wait to see how she looks with those spacers on. Can't wait till I'm rocking coils with you, either!

 

What size and offset is this set of 530s??

 

Ill get in on this rx7 ****.. Wish i was lower but my coilovers are maxed out in the rear, have to modify them

 

That's maxed out?? What coilovers do you have?

 

What the ****? how in the world are those maxed out? were they supposed to raise your car or what? that car looks like it's on stock suspension O_____O

what brand? :X

 

They are megan tracks and yep the black threaded section will not spin down anymore its bottomed out. Would have to cut a couple inches out. Just been lazy and havent got around to doing it. Also looks worse because i only have 17 inch wheels and not to mention the 10.5 inch wide wheels with only a 235 on it. Doesnt normally look that bad but still need to get on it and fix it i want to be a lot lower.

 

mine.

 

sorry for the HUGE pic.

 

Bullshit.

This is mine. Same exact coilovers, and only 16's on both front and rear:

 

HNNGGG...Makes me want to just drop mine down when i get coils. Looks sweet, dude.

 

I also have Tracks and i still can go lower. No much lower but i had to raise the back to accommodate my -10 offset.

I think your doing something wrong lol you can almost rim tuck 17"s

 

He's right ^^^^^ my car was about 3 inches lower than yours.. you must have a shitload of preload in the rear or something.. Loosen the spring a bit, see what happens

 

as she sits now at my buddys garage....

hahahahaha....should be picking her up tomorrow to get to work...but motor swap is first on priority list....then we will get the suspension worked out...then body...all in due time ;D

 

You are at a similar ride height to me. It may not look like it but it actually is. Im telling you it looks different cause i have almost 40mm widebody in the rear with only a 235 in that picture. Im running a 255 right now and is pretty on point. I could use another inch or two but thats really it. I will adjust the preload and see if i can get it

 

Heres a 235 on a 9.5 inch wide with +15 offset. Still can go lower...i dont get it lol

There is no way you guys are the same hes stock body on 16 you have a gp kit and bigger wheels.... Not trying to talk **** cuz it's still a very nice rx7 but you can go lower

 

I'd also like to say that I do like your car.. I just wish you were closer so I could help you SLAM THAT BITCH!!! hahaha

My vote goes to improper pre-load settings from the factory. when I first got mine, they were all adjusted differently, I made sure everything was equalized before I threw them on..

these are the steps I took.

1: jack the car up, and remove rear wheels(obiously)

2: use the spanner wrenches to loosen the spring until it moves freely(this step is only to ensure equal pre-load on both corners, on a competitive car do NOT leave it like this, unless you like snapping the shock)

3: HAND tighten spring up until it is no longer captive, but not enough to compress the spring AT ALL.

4: hand tighten the smaller "locking collar" up until it it pressed firmly against the bigger spring perching collar thing(??)

5: NOW you use the spanner wrench to tighten the bigger spring perching collar thing(??) until you can fit the handle of the spanner in between the two collars.

6: again, tighten the smaller "locking" collar against the larger one and lock them together. this is the MAX preload you'll want.

Although Megan Racing say to leave the springs JUST tight enough to where they don't unseat themselves, but are still able to be spun by hand (I found this to be a more bouncy, and uncomfortable setting which is why I did the above^^^ 1-6)
