Question Mazda Speed Coilovers Rx7 FC



Well i have some MazdaSpeed Coils on my FC and i noticed a while back that it looks like the passenger coilover on the front looks like something messed up with it. i recently noticed the change but it does not affect the ride. well i pulled them out yesterday and i did notice the spongy material in the middle is damaged. im not sure what they are called. ive been searching online but im still unsure. Maybe a bushing or something? If anyone can assist me that would be great.
Ill post pictures as soon as possible

Sounds like you're looking at a bumpstop? Can probably pick then up anywhere.

Not sure why it posted the same one twice but theyre they are. as you can tell on the top one is higher then the other. the bolt that sits in the middle of the camber plate seems to be lifted?

And i think it is a bumpstop. You think autozone or any of those places would carry it?

What you're looking at is the pillow ball upper mount. I'm not sure if you'll be able to get just that mount anywhere but you might be able to get a universal Cusco one or get one from Ground Control, they make some that are camber nd caster adjustable for many types of shocks.

i dont think hes talking about the pillowballs since he said it was spongy and in the middle of the coil over. i reattached a copy of the pic with the bump stop circled to confirm the part needed. if your looking for bump stops you can find them at any pep boys that has a speed shop in it or at any place that has parts for off road vehicles.

don't get one from autozone... they'll probably be made out of rubber and be pretty terrible.

I'd recommend measuring your strut shaft, but a koni bump stop will probably work well:

or FCM bump stops:
