GReddy/Trust Lowering Springs

So when I bought my FD from the kid he told me it had greddy lowering springs and that he didnt even know greddy made springs until he got them.

I personally had never heard of it and seeing that the car sits pretty damn low for just springs and upgraded struts I figured he was lying and had the springs cut or heated or whatever.

So i found a tag on the springs, sure enough it said "trust" and then something about super racing something. With a part number and a bit saying FD on them.

So i tried searching online for them and have found nothing...

I'm looking for specs, reviews and hopefully pics of other people's cars with these springs on them to see if they all sit this low or something. Any info at all would be helpful, im guessing theyre possibly JDM only?

thanks,
kevin.

I would probably assume also that they are jdm only. Ive seen alot of other parts offered only in japan not in the us. But ive never heard of those either.

Here is a link to a site that actually did sell them. Its an old site dating back to the year 2000. You have to scroll to the suspension part of the page (about a third of the way down):http://www.rx7.net.nz/forsalenew.htm. It actually gives you the spring rates and everything so they do exist.

Just buy them direct from greddy, go make a JP friend and have them translate it or order it for you.

This is the only info I show.
http://www.trust-power.com/overseas/products.html

Click on the "Mazda" link in the Suspension/Springs area (near the bottom).

The hard part...would be verifying if your springs are indeed genuine "Trust" springs, and not knock-offs.

I had those springs on my last FD, great ride considering how low they drop the car.

the stickers look pretty "real" they have part numbers, i think sr403, not sure if people would fake those too, maybe i guess.

the car looks great at it's level and handles awesome, so I'm very happy, but i like to have info on the stuff on the car rather then just be clueless.

RX794: any pics of your last FD? i was hoping to find at least a couple pics of other cars with the springs to compare.

so any pics of other cars with these springs on?

compared the FD to a brand new softtop miata today, the FD is maybe 1/4" shorter then the miata with these springs.
