HowD, now that the car is in good mechanical running order I now need to concentrate on fixing the suspension, which is pretty much shot. Just to let everyone know I have S4 N/A. And my goal is to upgrade the RX7 enough to keep up with a friends RX8, we are pretty equal drive skill wise.

I already have a 4 pistion caliper upgrade, and 5 lug hubs waiting to go on the car. and I have comp motor mounts.

I am decided on my rims, Enkei RPF01 in 17 inch, not sure on width though, I am thinking of 8 or 9 on all corners with either 235 for the 8's or 255's for the 9's. I would like to be able to rotate the tires. And I know that if I get the 9inches with 255's I will have to get wider fenders in the front.

I already plan on getting DTSS eliminators, all new poly suspension bushings, sway bar end bar links, and maybe comp trans and differential mounts, strut braces (proably mazdatrix style), under car suspension braces, like the ones that mazdaspeed and Auto EXE make. Do you guys think the mounts, end links are a little overkill, and suspension braces would be a waste of money?

I have no idea what to do in the lines of struts and springs, I was thinking of getting RB springs with AGX's and call that good, would Ground Control coilovers with the AGX shocks be that much better? And is there anything else that I am missing?

 

sorry to hijack ur thread justin but i really want to see your car now. BTW- u want some free cf stereo surround? -- derek

 

I don't know if I'll need a surround since I don't have a stero, but I'll talk to you about that later, shoot me a PM, or give me a call.
No one has anyfeedback, or do I be asking a dumb kinda question.

 

won't the front tires rub against the inside with that wide a tire?

 

I don't think so, right now my car has 235/60R14 tires on all 4 corners. These are mounted on the phone dials, I really want to know what dumbass put those tires on the phone dial rims, what a tard.

 

loooool I remember seeing it, looks like whoever put that on there wanted to go muddin'. Definitely go with the enkei's, and if you dont want any rub its just a matter of finding the right offset. But justin as far as the suspension goes, change the sway bars and the bushings and get some strut tower braces and it will make a world of difference even on the stock shocks and for now will be more cost effective. I personally would just go with a decent coilover setup on top of that all. Id say go with what you were saying first and then depending on how your ride is then i would decide on the suspension setup. And i think the chassis bracing wouldnt be overkill depending on the weight.
