NEED INFO: Mazdaspeed coilovers

Hey everyone, new here on the forum but not new to the Rotary world.

i need a few quick ?'s answered from the pros. I'm in the process of buying a set of used mazdaspeed 4-way adjustable coilover's for $280, the gentleman at the shop (DVS)has no idea what an FC or FD is, they work on hondas only, but they did a sus swap on an rx7 circa 92. i showed him my FD and he said its the one w/o pop up headlights so that threw him off, so i came here for right answers!


Note: the shop will refund my money if they are defective..

thanks,

Memo

they look like they're for an FD...the FC use a MacPherson strut--which has a different mounting.

No, the FC uses MacPherson struts up front, but the coilovers in your pic are clearly NOT MacPherson struts. Those Mazdaspeed coil-overs are for the FD.
