So what is the diffrence between buyin springs and new shocks and putting them together, is that the same as a coilovers just already done. Sorry if this is such a dumb question.

I was just thinking I would buy the of Racing Beat's/springs then the KONI/shocks later but if its not the same then I would just buy the Megan Racing EZ Street Coilovers.

Coilovers are more for the track oriented driver also suitable for drivers who like to play around with the settings and height. A shock/spring combination is a set it and forget it kind of set-up. More OEM feel, less clunks and other sounds and generally softer spring ratios than coilovers.

If you don't hit the track often or want to set your car at a specific height than go with shocks and springs because it's more cost effective but if you're still going to buy coilovers get a decent set. And a decent set will cost you more than $1000. Megan Racing is basically an ebay coilover and has no reputation in the RX7 world afaik.

Although late for you at this point, there are some other differences between the coilovers and a regular spring/shock combo.
The coilovers have smaller diameter springs IIRC, so there is more clearance for bigger rims/tires. Another very important feature is that they are all for the most part shock adjustable and that means that you can easily and quickly change the shocks setting and have a firmer, track type ride, as opposed to a softer street type ride.
Like somebody said, they are basically very adjustable in many different ways and this gives you flexibility, not only in terms of track setup options, but also in terms of going from street to track and back.
Also, some of the coilovers (high prices) are engineered to be lighter in weight than a spring/shock combo, thus improving the suspension performance.
