s7
1996-1998 FD

and yeah that was a bit hard to understand. lol.

i suggest
-fd reliability mods, if not addressed in s7 revision
-coilovers and differential
-extra wheels and tires
-optional: seats and anything else to get you comfy

do you have ne specific brands in mind.
sory bout the spelling 2 im from nz so the spelling is a bit differnt here n over here an rx7 is widely known as a bat or batty or batmobile

any of the common reputable brands will be fine for a starting point

whether you and other people will like a particular coilover is very subjective.

i'd go with whatever is locally serviceable, cost effective, and known in the local community. and i'd go for ride alongs with local enthusiasts (hopefully they are friendly) before you buy anything, so you can determine which coilover feels best for you, both on and off the track.

some of the more common brands over here are HKS, Tein, Koni, Apexi.
my mate has hks adjustibles and their quite stiff i waz thinkn maybe the tein struts tho cuz they have a electronic damper control unit 4 inside the car wotz ur thoughts?

edfc is really a gimmick, rather than a selling point. once you play around with your coilovers a bit you'll have two or three settings you'll keep going back to. it takes about 2 minutes to set it by hand.

i wouldn't worry so much about stiffness. i would look for a coilover that can be set to be comfortable on the street and aggressive enough for your liking on the track. i.e. main concerns should be ride quality, useful adjustment range and adequate damping. these concerns are all interlinked.

i would not take brand recommendations over the net. that was what i did when i bought my first set of coilovers, and i have regretted it ever since. best experience for your personal buying decision is first hand. i.e. get into the community and get a ride along.

kiwikronik

mite just stick 2 the hks coilovers then i know that they wurk well enough.
the car isnt going 2 b on the roads most of the time im mainly goin 2 turn it in 2 a track car 4 drifting or circut days havnt decided yet

You'd probably get more helpful information if you'd post in english. I'm not willing to make the effort to read your gibberish, so can't give my input......
