Suspension question please help.

I did a search and couldn't find what i was looking for.

The suspension is terrible on the 86 we just bought(beats you to death,worn out for sure)and was wondering if you can buy a kit that has all of the bushings for the suspension,and will a set of struts help out a ton?

Will a set of aftermarket springs(inch or so lower)with new bushings and struts make it ride better?Or will it still ride real harsh and stiff with aftermarket springs??

www.corksport.com sells an energy suspension polyurethane bushing kit to replace all of the suspension bushings. Its about $100. Yes, aftermarket struts/springs will improve the ride quality by far over worn out stock ones. The ride will be noticable stiffter than stock, but it no way bouncy or unstable. www.rx7.com , www.racingbeat.com, www.mazdatrix.com, www.rx7store.net are all good places to start looking, as well as looking for deals in the parts for sale sections of this forum, www.nopistons.com, and www.teamfc3s.org
