Looking for Coilovers for 87 TII

Looking for recommendations on premium coilovers. Mostly street use with occasional track(drag strip). I searched but didn't find much for fc

the new interesting one is from Greddy, which was unexpected https://www.rhdjapan.com/trust-gredd...rx-7-fc3s.html

Greddy released a new set of coils for the FC? That's surprising.

I went with these RedShift Competition Coilovers (redshiftmotorsports.com) At the time they were using BC racing coilovers as their base and revalving them for the track. From this RedShift/BC Competition Coilovers (redshiftmotorsports.com) It looks like they are moving away from BC Racing as their supplier. I don't know who their new supplier is as their website doesn't say. After talking to Chris @ Redshift I went with a soft spring setup since right now I only drive on the street 6kg. front 4kg. rear. I have been very happy with them. Not too bouncy or rough like I've read coilovers can be. Don't get me wrong they are stiffer than stock but for my roads definately livable on the street.

Here is my thread from when I was looking for coiloversAny Coilovers livable on the street. - RX7Club.com - Mazda RX7 Forum
They have broken ground on that racetrack so maybe one day I'll do some track days.

since that thread, i did the bushings on my car, and the ride got way better, which was unexpected.
i am still thinking that while 8/6 is ok on the street, 7/5 would be better.
