GXL Suspension

Hi Guys,

RX-7 Nub here.

I'm looking at buying a lower mileage 88 GXL.

I want to know a little bit about the adjustible suspension the car came with:

Is it any good? Can I rip it out and put new stuff in? Is that any harder than on a regular 7?

Your best bet is to replace it with newer non electronic control struts.

At 80,000 miles the electronic adjustable shocks are pretty much wasted anyway and since most GXLs have more miles than that...

Is there left over Hardware if you yank em?

What are some good coilovers or suspension parts to get?

I want the car to be well rounded and streetable.
