RX3 Suspension, Where to buy now a days?
So I have picked up a '73 RX-3.
It was setup to road race and has spent most its life as a CSP / IT car.
We have put it back to street trim, but left all the go fast parts on it.
The thing I need is the suspension is the orgional aftermarket suspension from 30 years ago.
What is available out there for the RX-3, I am having trouble finding suspension parts.

81-85 front struts along with the front brakes/rotors. the brake lines thread pitch between 80 and below (old school RX and 78-80 RX-7) vs 81+ have changed. you can get the modified steel braided lines from RE Speed OR cut the flare from the RX-3's hard line and re-flare it with 81+ thread pitch. while ur at it, you can also upgrade the brake master to a 81+ RX-7 (I prefer the GSL version) and also get the RE Speed camber kit. Now depending on how low you want it to be, you may need to extend 81-85 strut tubes Or make a 1" spacer similar to the RX-3's stock triangular shim.
RE speed has the rear disc brake conversion bracket wherein you can use a 81-85 GSL rear brake rotors and calipers.
Do a search. there are several topics floating around in the old school section. this is one of the common upgrade for a RX-3 and RX-2.

Hope this helps.
P.S Tell him what the car will be used for and he will customize the set-up.
