What are your plans for the car? Show car, Street car, Daily driver/autocrosser, Racecar, Dragcar? Please be a little bit more specific on the details of wich you want to do to your car. Then we can help you to find out better some of the products available for our cars.
Welcome to the forum btw.

Why not check the First Generation Specific forum for information about mods for a first-gen RX-7?

My recomendation for your SA, IMHO, Upgrade the suspention first. ^PSC is right You can find ALOT of info on suspention for your SA in that section of the forum. The search guide can be your best friend here sometimes. Also I might recomend a book for ya. Its by Mike Ancas its called "Mazda RX-7 Performance Handbook." It covers everything from moderate modifications to pure race cars. Also it goes over all 3 gens. So you get to learn a little about those too. Good luck..

I have that book. It has a few minor inaccuracies, and some of the specific information is now out of date, but it makes for a decent introduction.
