Move 93 RX7 with collapsed front shocks/struts

My son’s 93 RX7 front suspension is collapsed. I want to move it out of my garage and that will require a lot of turning . I am not a mechanic but I would like to know is there anyway to brace the car up so I can steer in without damaging anything - not running

If you’re just moving it out of the garage there’s no risk of a major issue- you may just rub the plastic fender liners and fenders with the tires.

If the moving will will be done on an entirely paved surface you could purchase 4 wheel dollies and set the entire car on them, it will push around without great effort.

Can you post pictures of what you’re dealing with? I’ve never seen an intact suspension that’s collapsed to the point the car can’t be moved. Springs will sag, but not that much.
