Springs&Struts for FD, Suggestions?
 

I would like to replace the springs and struts on my car, along with the upper rubber spring seats, so I am looking for suggestions/knowledge from those with experience with the various options.

My plans are for mainly street driving and the occasional autox. I will do the swap myself and I don't want to spend a fortune.

So, initially I was thinking of going with either the Koni or Tokico's at the rx7 store, probably leaning towards the tokico, with the RSR Down Springs. I haven't heard anything about these springs. My brother had the Eibach springs but I'm not sure I want that much of a drop. The RSRs have less drop, but are stiffer any issues with this setup? I am also considering the H&Rs and the Racing Beat springs.

Any helpful advice is appreciated.

The Eibach's overall probably have the least drop of the bunch of springs that you listed. H&R are a lot more of a drop all around than the Eibachs. Racing Beat springs aren't that highly used as their spring rates so close to stock that it causes rubbing problems when going to aftermarket wheels.

If I were doing my suspension all over again, I would go with Koni's and RSR Race Springs.

I could confirm this (racing beat w/ tokicos) . I change my offset form 38 to 35 and now I'm rubbing when turning and theres a light bump on the road/track.


Thinking of going H&Rs.

I say RB springs the drop is just right and doesnt make the car look like the rear is taller like the H&Rs that ive seen. I'm running RB and Tokicos and yes you have to be careful with changing wheels but if your keeping around stock no problems.

here's some pics, specs are:
