Need Some Advice on Springs! And Ball Joints.

Hey folks,

pretty new to rx7's, Just replaced all my brake components.

Booster, pads, rotors, drums, wheel cyls etc. I have the lower control arm and tie rod apart while replacing bushings and i figured while i had everything apart i would replace the springs.

I usually always go with eibach or koni or apex. But it seems they dont have a listing for and 83 anymore.

I am not really familiar with the only options i have found.

B&G , Progress, or ST suspensions.

I was wondering what i should go with, Which company is better and if anyone has had experience with any of these companies.

Also i cant seem to find any Ball joint boots that will fit. Energysuspensions is just selling the tierod boot as the ball joint one but its not.

should i just change the ball joint completely or does someone know where i can get a complete lower control arm or just the ball joint boot?

thx

Hi.

A lot of us RX7 guys get our OEM parts from Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda. They are a forum sponsor and have been giving us all kick *** discounts even before becoming a vendor. Ray's number is: 888.533.3400


I'll let the first gen guys comment on the rest of the questions in your thread
