I've got some R1 sways and I'm trying find out what the diameter difference is between them and the base and touring diameters. Any other differences?

thanks,

Aaron

 

Not only do the swaybar diameters differ between the three basic trim packages (R, Touring and Base) offered by Mazda, they differ from year-to-year as well.

According to Mike Ancas's book, "Mazda RX-7 Performance Handbook," there were three different daimeter rear swaybars that came equipped on the 3rd generation RX-7. These swaybars were the 19mm tubular used on the 1993 R and Base models, the 17mm bar for the 1994 Base model and the 15.9mm bar for the 1994 R and Touring models.

interesting find. how about the fronts? makes me wanna get the smallest rear just to help with side to side transitions(better than nothing being there) and mate it with some custom polyurethane mounts

Fronts are the same on all years, only the rears changed.

FWIW the spring rates are the same on every model as well, the only differences were in the shocks.

 

awesome, thanks guys for the info!
