Do you have the spring rate numbers or is this a seat-of-the-pants measurement? They will feel stiffer because they are new and the OEM ones are older and worn out.

Oh, and there is an RX-7 for sale on Radar Hill Road. Looks exactly like mine. The dude went away to college and he is having his sister selling the car for him. They want $1000 for it and apparently the only thing wrong with it is they have to pull the injector fuse to start the car cause it floods after it runs for a while and its hard to start. I'd buy it but I don't have any room in my garage for another car.

Been a while for this thread.

Do you still like your setup? Notice rubbing? Do you have ABS?

I think the ABS makes the rim stick out more.

Any problems with cooling by having the number plate in the cooling vent.

I had mine down there and the bitch would get hot.

Nice wheels by the way, I really like the black with red, cause thats what I got but mine only 16 inch, GTR rims, sprayed in satin black.

I dont really like those rims, with all the choices at a relatively cheap price, something different and alot nicer woulda made a big difference.... But thats IMHO, im sure you love your car how it is... Anyways good job.

I did a few months back-- its true dual now, not nearly as ghetto. I remember when I had it chained up, haha, that was hillarious.

Anyhow the car has been garaged for the last few months, even though we have a decent winter. I'm going to be getting with Project84 and get the motor rebuilt fresh this late winter too. Hopefuly she will be like a new ride all over again come spring.

Rims are up to the owner's likings really... What I would do is get a nice looking tail pipe... Cut that one shorter and cover it with a nicer looking tip...
