the rx7's suspension is totally unique to any other mazdas. Yes coilovers are expensive, but you gotta pay to play

Learn to apreciate the original suspension before changing it. Coilovers are great but they change the feel of the car. Try riding on other 7 owner's cars before deciding on a set.

Remember that you should also add bushings, trailing arms, toe links, corner weighting and a very good alignment by a good shop.

I have tried numerous suspension combinations on different cars, and the best setup as yet I have experienced are the Tein Flex Type coilovers currently on one of my FD's, the one I'm selling on this site. The FD deserves a top-of-the-line suspension setup, and with independent adjustment of the spring rate, ride height, AND 16-way dampers, this setup is good for the track or for taking the females (one at a time) out to the club. My FD sits 3" off the ground from the lowest point on the undercarriage, but I have yet to scrape, even on San Francisco's steep hills. I have just enough adjusment to slam the chassis to the ground actually. Minor rubbing on steep driveways, but that's nothing. I got mine for about $1800, and you won't be able to find a set for much less than that. I you go with a cheap set of springs, expect a set of springs too soft for the amazing 0.75" drop that will have your car bottoming out, tearing up your bumpstops and damaging your shocks, and very likely your car's frame. Just ask my '96 MX6 LS what the Intrax replacement springs driving in downtown SF a.k.a. Pothole Central. The unusually rigid front end still wasn't enough to hold up against these shocks, which claimed to be "progressive." It now rides on Iluminas with 425/350-lb coilovers front/rear, and the difference is like night and day. The choice is yours, either way, you will get what you pay for. The Flex Types have rates of 550 in front and about 448 in the rear. The next step up is only if you want daily headaches and is the closest thing to a solid-mount setup with rock hard 1000-lb springs front and rear. You don't need anything more than the Flex Types. These also come with the upper pillow ball mounts standard, completely replacing the suspension. In changing the front, you need to remove the upper suspension arm in two places. With this extra work, this is something you only want to do once and get it right the first time (just like everything else on a car). If you want what's best for your car, get true coilovers.
