Springs. RB or Eibach
From what reading on here I want linier springs.
For street /Auto-X performance, what really is the difference or what one flat out performs better?
Here is the information I have on the two.
Racing Beat
Racing Beat designed coil springs are suitable for a variety of street, autocross, and race applications.
These 1986-91 RX-7 springs will provide a front and rear drop of approximately 1 inch. The spring rates are as follows: front 145 lbs/in, rear 132 lbs/in. This equates to a 20 percent increase over the stock rates.
At $140.00
And
EIBACH PRO-KIT LOWERING SPRINGS
MAZDA RX-7 Turbo & GTU, 13B, (Exc. Convertible)
Front weight 0.8
Rear weight 0.8
At $140.00
These springs will be coupled with, Energy suspension bushing kit, Tokico Illumina struts, DTSS eliminators.
Following mod will be RB sway bar end links, and RB sway bars.

If you use the car for track days or autocross you will not like the Eibach’s (progressive springs). I had them on mine and you have to be really smooth on a track with them. I have coilovers now, which are stiff for the street, but they are predictable when on the track. You have a limited choice when it comes to linear springs for a FC.

90% street driven with an occasional Auto-X day. I am willing to put up with a fair bit. Ride quality so not really bother me. Not to say I want to be tossed into my head liner if I hit a bump. But I don’t want it to bounce like some ricer cut springs.

opinions are broad because they tell you what each person wants. So you'd have to go try out differnet springs yourself to find out what YOU want.
Though the general idea of linear vs. progressive is that the linear is more predictable, since it changes linearly, while progressive...is not linear... So go for linear, as you had stated at first, for an easier time autocrossing. And since you only gave one option for linear springs...
