good luck taking those Tein SS springs on the track or hard driving. And Tokico HPs? Minus well buy stock replacements GR2s because they won't do anything. If your going to spend money, then buy something worth while. If you're not willing to shell out a decent amount, then don't bother spending on crap.

Get KYB AGXs or Koni Yellows for shocks/struts. RSR, Swift, or Tanabe GF for springs. You'll still be below the $600 range with suspension almost as good as coilovers (without the height adjustment, and a few other small things).

I'm going with the KYB AGXs but I can't find some springs.
I don't know if i can fit a 1.5" drop with 17" rims.
And no matter how much i lower it I need to buy that camber kit correct?

Yes, you can fit 17" rims with a 1.5" drop. It all about proper tire Size and Offset of wheels.

oh okay thank you. When I do drop the car, what kind of kit do I need to adjust the camber? Will those parts from NOPI work? http://www.nopionline.com/nopistore/...%20MAZDA%20RX7

The price for those is much better than the links from mazdatrix. I'm also on a budget since i'm still in high school and having to fix or replace everything else on this car.
...minimum wage kind of sucks.
