Hi
Need some help my RX7 Convertible 1989 is of the road having the paint work done and when this is done I want to change the suspension as I believe it has been there from new
Can any body help I don’t want to lower her as it will be in day to day use in the summer and I don’t want it to look like a Boy Racer?
All so I want some Brake Disc’s??
Thanks for your help
Michael

 

Any after market springs will lower the car.

But don't worry, your stock springs are sagging as it is so you won't notice the drop if you stick to a 3/4" drop or less.

You could spend a pretty penny on stock springs though!

You can get brake discs just about anywhere, I use r1concepts.com

 

The popular spring brands only lower the car by 0.75 to 1", which will not make you look like Boy Racer unless you also add ricer wheels and low-profile tires. Racing Beat makes good springs for the convertible, and they are half the price of new stock springs. Popular street/autocross dampers include Tokico HP, Tokico Illumina, and KYB AGX. I recommend that you replace all of the suspension bushings at the same time so that you don't ruin your new components. The common bushing materials are as follows from softer to stiffer: Stock Rubber, 40% Stiffer Rubber, Urethane, Delrin (UHMW) or Metal.

For brake discs, see the Brembo replacement rotors at Tire Rack. Also, your local auto parts store may have lifetime warranty rotors for about the same price.

 

if you like the stock suspension just buy new shocks, and any other worn out rubber bits like strut tops, etc and call it good

tokico and kyb both make stock replacement shocks.

 

Thanks very much
I want to leave the BBs Wheels on and try to keep it stock as it has a new engine and she will be back from the paint shop next week after having a total repaint
There was only one rust point on the driver’s side rear sill and a couple of shopping trolley dents
All lights bumpers door handles roof lifted and painted in original colour
Can you still get the transfers for the front wings?
