We now have shock spacers to allow the use of 1981-1985 front Inserts to be used in the rx2 and rx3 strut housings.

We are also working on a lower control arm that will help with a FB suspension swap.

Height wise, the spacer will work but what about the diameter...the 1st gen tokico's are thinner than a RX-3... Dont forget, the old school got shitty front brakes.

For the rx3 we have camber plates currently, same bearing as our rx7 camber plates.
We have prototype Rx2 strut tops and Rx2 camber plates that will accept the rx7 strut inserts Due out soon. The rx2 and rx3 coil over kits are launching this week. Brake kits are taking a bit longer but should be soon as well.

Will those inserts only work with the Tokico's? How about KYB GR2 inserts? Not a big fan of the Tokico's. Had some bad luck with them on another car.

The inserts (Tokico, KYB, Bilstein, Koni, etc...) are all the same size if made to fit a 79-85 RX7.

Billy, I can hardly wait for those RX2 control arms. etc. I had a local guy helping me fab some stuff up but it's taking forever and I want to get my car rolling. Plus your quality speaks for its self so even if I fab my own stuff I'd probably buy your design as well just for the heck of it.

Not sure. We are not a KYB dealer.

The spacers actually fit onto the insert bottom becoming part of the insert. Not sure if the bottom of the KYB is dimensionally identical to the Tokico.

A little detail please? Personal opinion? Experience? Tell me why they are junk. I have seen a lot of KYB stuff on cars and have always been satisfied with the product.

IMHO, it doesnt take long for KYB to blow and its too soft on top end.
