Question OK I need a GOOD suspension for my prodject.(Suggestions)

Ok guys I my grand plan to become a good racer and have a great FC I will need to upgrade my suspension. Thusly, I want your oppinions on what to get. I do not mind having a harsh ride as long as I don't break any bones. I am talking about a complete set up not just lowering it. I want something that will handle exceptionaly and is not too expensive. I would probably spend about 4k on the whole setup(over time of course) and would like to know what is availabel for that price range. Also I would like to know what you all have. I kinda want to get into AutoXing but I also will drive my car everyday.

If you're going for a full monotube coilover I'd suggest this: It's what I have and they are amazing. We have a special going on at the moment.



Inverted monotube up front and rebuildable here in the US. Also customizable. If you want the best compromise between track and street I guarantee the FLT-A2 will fit the bill. They can be custom valved if you so desire on a special order basis at no additional charge.

Retail for $1850.00 you get a few hundred off for sure as a club deal. We want you to use and abuse these.

Then you can get RB camber adjuster for the rear and the MAzdatrix ones to even out the deviation between left and right side. That will cost a good couple hundred. I'd get new bushings for the suspension and toe eliminator bushings. Then you can get a dry carbon shaft strut tower bar for the rear and an aluminum for the front. Then you can get a rollbar, weld in is the most effective.

I'd say spend about $3500.00 on suspension installed and corner weighted. Would get you all new bushings, camber adjustment, full on coilovers, and a weld in roll cage. So looks like it will definitely work into your budget. I even over estimated a little bit.

Let me know what I can help you with. FC's are my life.

Very NICE dude. I will start the number crunching sonn. But since I am a student the budget may have to be adjusted but I will let you know. Do you have a website?
I will probably do this part of my project some time in the fall so I am sorry but currently I can not purchase these things. How much would an installation of all mentioned above? Could it be done where I live or would I have to travel to an RX7 shop for it to be done? I would not mind doing it myself but I would not have the tools or know-how to even begin to attempt this on my own. What about anti-swaybars?
