Hello
I have a 92 FD3S. And most of the parts I have been looking at are for 93 FD like coilovers and other parts.
So I've noticed there are a lot of posting for 86-92FC3S
And 93-95FD3S.
So do I have to get parts for the 93?
I'm starting to get confused. Is the suspension for the 92FD3S the same as the 93
Here is a example
MAZDA RX7 FD3S ADJUSTABLE COILVOERS JDM MAZDA RX-7 SUSPENSION - City of Toronto Other Parts, Accessories For Sale - Kijiji City of Toronto Canada.

Thanks

The suspension from a fc will not fit on a fd. You need to buy suspension for only a fd, any model from 92-2002 will accommodate.

Ok thanks
So a north American 93 FD parts will fit my 92 fD3S?
Assuming its not the interiour. Because of the left and right side
Is that correct?

correct. rhd interior bits will NOT fit in a lhd interior except for seats.

the confusion is because in the USA we use model year to date our cars, which is in the VIN number, and the rest of the world tends to use the date the car was built, and with the FC/FD changeover there is a grey area.

Mazda started FD production December 28th 1991, but all of the US cars were 1993 models. although in fact there are no US spec 1993 model year FD's that were actually built in 1993.

however they also built the FC convertible up until September 1992, as 1992 models, or it shows a model number and vin range and date range.

in your case, shop for FD parts.

Awesome!! That's exactly what I wanted to know.
Thanks for the help Pure and j9

The earliest FD RX-7s were 1992, in Japan, Australia and other RHD countries.

However, (and correct me if I'm wrong here) the FD was only available in the US from 1993 to 1995. (You'll see this forum section is even called "3rd Generation Specific 1993-2002") which is technically wrong. The FD ran globally from 1992 to 2002.

Irregardless, from 1992 to 2002, all models will take universally the same suspension components. Some parts are not universally interchangeable like that, but the suspension is.
