Picked up this 1993 Rx-7 R1 in March of this year. I work on it constantly. Here's some before and afters. Keep in mind it's a rolling work in progress.

Excuse the cell phone shots (befores were taken with iPhone 5, afters with Nokia Lumia 1020), but after the exterior is done (still have wide fenders, voltex wing, headlights and mirrors) and painted, I will do a proper photoshoot. Until then, just wanted to share what I've done so far.

^ Looks like a really nice progression! I just wonder how people manage to drive on roads when the suspension is so low.

^I ride way lower and I don't drive like a ***** neither, it's really nothing crazy... you get super stiff quality coilovers and you will rarely scrape. Even if u do scrape it's no big deal.. metal can take some abuse but getting skid plates made is always a smart thing to do.

Thanks.
As DeeSan stated, it's really not hard. Just pay attention and drive with common sense. My previous cars were extremely low. I would consider the FD a normal height, but that's just me.
