Stock Suspension questions

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the stiffness of the RX7s. Does the touring model compare to a Supra or maybe an M3? I have driven an R1 and it seemed much stiffer than either of the other two cars I mentioned. Any help would be great.

Oh. The R1 might have had modifications done to it so I guess I am more interested in a comparison between the other cars.

Thanks

The Touring model uses the same springs/spring rates as the R1/R2 models. The difference came in the compression dampning. The Touring model is good up until about 95%, the R1 is way too stiff from the start. It's really not fair to compare those three cars, especially in suspension setup. Both the other two are so much heavier, they aren't truly comparable.
