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.

 

that is a thing of beauty, Rockauto.com still has some stock front suspension in stock such as control arm bushing, tie rod ends and ball joints. Also heres a link for som aftermarket stuff from over the pond. http://www.scottsoldautorubber.com.a...EDAN-COUPE.htm

 

Looking for something aftermarket.

Coil Overs, Springs, Koni's, etc.

 

Others have asked, so more pics

Koni reds for a RX-3. I have a set if your interested since I have upgraded to 81-85 for better selection of springs coil overs etc etc.

 

We can do coil overs/springs for both the rx3 and rx7 struts. We also have camber plates as well as strut bars.

You can change rear springs to these...

Potentially, what are you looking to get?

Also what parts are interchangeable for the FB and RX-3?

 

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.

 

I am restoring a 72 mazda 808 , converting it into an RX3. The suspension just went in last week. My local Tuner (Garage5) found me some rear Koni's and a coil-over kit for the front , Koni/Eibach/GroundControl. The rear set-up was designed for Auto-Cross with 2"BellTech lowering blocks. Ask for Robert Tam ,...rob@garagefive.net

Hope this helps.

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

 

Anyone know of a vendor who's got Urethane front control arm bushings for the RX3s? Arm to chassis and arm to sway bar.

 

I have poly sway bar to control arm bushings. Have not made the mold for the control arm pivot point yet. $40 for a set of 4 if you are interested.
