your probly not going to have a lot of luck finding people with experience in jumping there mazdas. but anyway, i dont think you really have to worry about the height of the jump, its just the landing, if you dont land perfectly flat on all 4 then your going to slam one end of your car on the ground. i dont know what it would break but its generally isnt a good idea to jump an rx7

I've launched my '87 sport a couple of times. You WILL bottom out the shocks, depending upon the tires, you'll either slam the ground or your tires will take the brunt of it (a lot of tires will explode) Haven't you guys ever watched that FC promo video where they're going through all kinds of crazy crap with the FC? That **** was awesome, someone post a link!

stock shocks with 153k will not be helping anything. You should have changed them at 60k. I say you will bottom out quick but hell get it on tape so we can see it. I had a monte carlo (woods car) that me and my freinds used to jump and crash all over the place. I used to get it 6-7 feet off the ground and landings would smash the windows and make the doors fly open. For some reason it always tipped to the left side and landed weird and I don't really know why I always had a passanger but still would land leaning drivers side. hell it was fun.

One of my friend jumped a 2002 Volvo S80, we were going about 105 and the car just got about 2 feet of the ground and lucky for him he had a great landing. he didn't damage anything except for the **** in his pants.
