All of the above

Hi everyone. I got an 87 turbo 2. Spent the last year fixing all the issues and finally got it running good. I would like to get an entry level coilovers that is light on my wallet and is a better ride than the blown shocks I got now. I also am going to do the racing beat front and rear sway bars and xxr 502. I'd like 17s. Unless anyone knows 18s look better. I know nothing about offset and stuff. I just want them to look good and ride good. Maybe a small lip....any advice on all this would greatly help

These are the cheapest coilovers I would bother with:
Ground Control - 86-91 RX-7 Super Street Kit

most people think 17s look better

you'll want about a +35 offset.

wowww those are expensive for "cheap" coilovers. I hear great things about them though, so if you can afford that. Do it.

I run Megan Racing Track coilovers Mazda 1986-1992 RX7 (FC) Megan Racing Track Coilover Damper Kit (MR-CDK-MRX86TS)|Megan Racing High Performance Race Suspension Systems , and so does the guy with the purple fc from Drift Union (you know, the guys with the purple legacy and soarer).

I personally love these, they feel great. I Just got them a few weeks ago though so I cannot vouch for thier longevity...so just do some searching and find out haha.

you're better off just getting a set of ground control sleeves and bilsteins...

That is a very interesting read; please excuse my ignorance.

I will have to keep all of that in mind when purchasing my next set.
