suspension buying help
I can't find any good deals for suspension pieces for rx7's but I can for a whole lot of other cars. I'm looking for eibach springs with KYB AGX adjustables for my 88SE. I found some on ebay from a honda for a good price, not used at all, but I'm wondering if these work.

if you email www.autornd.com they can help you out. There are other options besides eibach as well for the FC. What are you trying to do with this car? Did you want camber plates? There's always Tein camber plates which are pretty affordable.

my entire suspension is more or less gone. it's still better than ne other car I've driven but it's less predictable. I will be street driving mostly with some autox mixed in. camber plates would be nice but I didn't get the impression that they did much.

man, those are some nice setups they have on that sight. I don't have that kinda cash right now though, I just need a good street suspension for hopefully under 500$.

You'll be without camber plates in that budget. Shoot them an email, sales@autornd.com. most likely you'll be looking to get KYB AGX and RSR Race Springs. At least that's what I would do.

Put KYB AGX's and Eibach Pro's on my 87 NA last winter.
Had it on the track last Fall (with the orig parts) and the body was rolling all over the place, more than I thought it would. Change the above parts and urethane bushing, with the resulting ....say...1" drop at the back and 3/4" at the front, and now just a little roll on the track...almost perfect.
BUT...much firmer ride. You can back the shocks off, but they just control rebound. The Eibach's are much firmer than the orig (admitedly 17 yr old) springs, but still OK for the street. Biggest difference was Toyo RA-1's for the track, made as much difference again as all the suspension mods.
