**New to RX7 need help- thanks!

Hi so I am brand new to the RX7 I have just purchased my first mazda ever actually 1998 Mazda RX-7 TYPE RB BATHURT imported right from Japan. I just wanted to no how the different generations of car are different. I have been looking for some fully adjustable struts for the car and cant seem to find any that are for a 3rd generation (98-03) Do the second generation struts fit or am I just missing it? Also is the body the same as the 2nd generation as I am also looking for a bodykit or lipkit to fit my year. Thanks for any help its much appreciated!

2nd gen struts won't fit the 3rd gen as they are mounted differently (4 bolt front top mounts..etc)

You need 3rd gen shocks.

thank you

Thank you for the input much appreciated and the link, I have been looking, the third generation is broken down into 3 different stages though? Like 93-97, 98-01, 02-03 is that correct? Is there any changes to the body of strut layout?
