Just wondering if any of you guys would be willing to share any info on improving the suspension and brakes on the old RX-3.
Currently I have some Ground Control Coil over sleeves with 275lb/in. springs, Koni Red inserts, RX-4 leaf springs, and custom mounted 5-way adjustable Rancho shocks on the rear. I have Hawk Blues for the front that have proven to provide far more braking than any other pads I have tried.
My question is do the first gen. RX-7 brakes bolt on to the RX-3 spindles? Does anyone know of any caster/camber plates for the RX-3 that are reasonably priced? I've seen some for $500+ but that seems a little high.
Thanks for any info you guys can offer!

Hi there bid guy my name is Steve and I own a RX4 with 2nd gen suspension front and rear. By May it should be up graded to active with the bigger brakes. At frist I was just thinking of a four link in the rear, lots of doners out to be found but I already this complet set up from a 86 four lug. So two years went by befor it was done,we all know bad 2,3 & 4s are when it come to braking and handling now it's a dream car.Any of the 7 suspesion parts can easly made to fit. I started do this type of finding what works good and just going out and getting a complet doner in my corvair days
I've read where some have put gsl-se suspension on them. Lack of funding is slowing me down. Just replaced the lower ball joints this past weekend. If I had something else to drive would probably help me get more done. Any way, good luck.
