Actually, i think the hot setup would be the kit that mazdacomp sells. www.mazdamotorsports.com

IT SUSPENSION KIT. Includes Camber/Caster Kit (0000-04-7205-AC), Front Coil Over Strut Kit (0000-04-7201-AC), Koni Adjustable Front Strut Cartridges (2)(0000-04-7211-KN), Koni Adjustable Rear Shocks (2)(0000-04-7214-KN), Rear Shock Mounting Kit (0000-04-7206-DP), Rear Shock Mounting Studs (2)(0000-04-7214-AA), Rear Camber Link (0000-04-7421), Eibach ERS 7' Front Springs (400lbs) and 10' Rear Springs (275lbs), Eibach Sway Bar Kit (0000-04-7302-EB).

$1,700

If i had to do it all again, i wouldnt have got the mazdaspeed coilovers. I would have bought this setup. Oh, because its a competition part, anyone can purchase it. You only have to show proof that you race to buy factory parts at a discount. Anyone can buy the competition stuff.

umm.... none of those will fit on the rear of an FC???? rear shocks have a hole at the bottom. not 2 on the side. looks like 4 fronts...

and yeah I want the mazdacomp setup too. I saw that awhile back. I bet they are made by ground control. about the same price with all the add on's, sway bars ect.

I would learn drifting but my racing car right now is an 87 mr2. those things are really crazy when it gets to over steering. once I get the 7 back from getting a new clutch and finish the break in period and have the power steering workign again, I'll go out to a nice parking lot and kill the tires. 340 treadwear, but by now they're probably at like 600. they're starting to crack. heh.

I would think about that suspension, but its just the wrong time I guess. I'm planning on selling the 7 I have and getting a TII (89-91 I hope). that and I'm planning on getting suspension set up for track/autocrossing purposes. probably the best I can find. that and I'm owing a lot of money to my dad for repairs and insurance . uhhh

What are the specs on the Tien RA for the FC? I saw the RA for the NSX has camber/caster plates, tender springs and 16 point adjust. shocks all for $1600 new ($2400 list price)-same for FC? What spring rates do you have? I was thinking of Cusco comp II, how does Tien RA compare?
