RX-2 Suspenesion Options

It appears that the bushings and wear items are available for the Aussie Ebayer. What is everyone doing for Struts, Shocks and Springs?

Ummmm, yeah. Excellent question. You can still by springs and dampers in Aus. I've got 2 pair of OEM rear shocks free for anyone that wants to rebuild a set. Personally, my car had Koni's on it and they're at the factory getting rebuilt. I don't know of any US alternatives for new hardware, though.

RX-2 rebuild kit (ebay store)

same question I had but i just purchased the front steering linkage rebuild kit from the ebay store in Aus last night!
Appears my 2 has all stock, not changed set up. do you think just swapping out Koni or KYB shocks will do the trick for handling-wise? Right now my car handles like a boat, any bump in the road will throw it off....

Custom bilstein coilover package, Ground Control camber caster plates, and a whole lot of engineering.

That is what I am doing. I have the coilovers ready to start fitting, but I have been waiting for the past 3 weeks for all of my bushings and suspension stuff to come from Aussie land.

As soon, as everything is fit, I will take some pictures if you are interested.

Yeah JC, I'm desperately waiting on those pics. No joke, I'd like to copy your setup and don't worry... I'll give you props anytime it gets compliments!!!

BTW: I'm experimenting with shorter struts from other cars and might have found something. Miata fronts struts seem to work in the rear of our 2's but I don't have any pics.
