hey im pickin up a 88 rx7 convertable to use as a parts car and i was wonderin if they had anything good do they have stiffer springs since its a convertable w/ all the extra weight? does it have a lsd? basically anything that a 90' gtu wouldnt have?

thanks,

they dont have an lsd...but i believe they have the turbo suspension and brakes (correct me if im wrong, i read that somewhere).

But there is a chance that those vert springs are pretty much worn out... that you probably don't want to use them.

Same rotors\calipers as the TII. Many TIIs had ABS My Vert didn't have ABS I'm not sure if any did.

The increased stiffness & chassis reinforcement makes the convertible feel more connected to the road. The heavy duty suspension & brakes makes overall handling very predictable and crisp. The highly responsive throttle, crisp handling, & engine deceleration system make dialing in the perfect amount of power or decel & steering perfect for "tearing up the streets" in the city. Nothing like taking sharp corners using the throttle to steer.

The stock springs are good with the rear springs designed a bit stiffer & with more suspension travel to handle heavy trunk loads. The Racing Beat springs switch back to a more balanced overall stiffness.

Keep in mind any high mileage car including the RX-7s will need new suspension all around (struts, swaybar end links, & more) to restore the "new car crispness" & precise handling.

You could possibly use the light weight window motors. Or just sell the drivers side motor to me
