The car seems solid with them. I dont have any complaints and for nvh I honestly don't hear anything that bothers me. I also don't daily drive the rx7 either.

I would recommend though

where did you get the intercooler duct and how did you land on Stance for the coilovers? Did you consider any other brands?

The duct came with the intercooler as a package. It's Pettit and I bought it from rx7store

I was going to go with tein super drifts but they were really hard to find.
I wanted it to be stiff for drifting
I've heard a lot about stance, nothing bad so decided to try them out
and they have pretty stiff springs 12k rate.

Also I was able to pickup the Stance from TougeFactory which is local to me.
Good people good business and good products.
I'm always down to support local shops.
