I am sure there are kits, you will just have to find them.

Almost 99% of the people who are into RX7's would never install these items so you will have to find the right websites to order them.

Even then I doubt people can say a whole lot for quality of the kits.

I don't know why you'd want vertical doors on an RX-7, but I've entertained the idea of installing air-ride so I could adjust ride height up and down quickly (I live in TN, and there are so many hills and bumps that any lowered car suffers from scraped bumper syndrome... badly.) I'll post any good links I find for air suspension.

There are plenty of universal lambo door kits but all require a bit of fabrication.

Note that most of these kits absolutely suck. You'll be spending several thousand dollars for a proper kit, and then installation on top of that.

Since air ride can generally not offer the handling of a strut and spring setup, most RX-7 owners are not interested in installing such things. So you'll need to get a universal bag kit and then fabricate the mounts required to install it.

Then don't get anything that doesn't directly affect performance.

If its a show car you can get a body kit and a functional wing with a good paintjob and rims. Thats the 'show' part of it, on the interior you can do a sound system and maybe a colored interior or some thing like that.

Anything outside of that that doesn't do something to performance of the vehicle is 'rice', at least imo.
