Did a breif look around and couldnt find it, seen it before just not this time. I'm going to be running H&R coilovers, and I think Tokico Illumina's unless I get some better input. I can as of now get all four for $385 NEW not to bad of a deal...but im kinda sceptical becuse of this;

"Mazda RX7 sports cars have their own identity and feel. The first generation feels different from the second generation, and the third generation is almost like a race-car built for the street.

The early RX7 was a decidedly tail-happy car. By designing the proper valving, TOKICO engineers were able to reduce the tail-happy tendency and simultaneously improve the ride quality. TOKICO has been a spec shock in more than one race series featuring Mazda RX7 cars.

In most cases, TOKICO Performance and/or Illumina shocks and struts offer more damping force than the original factory parts. However, in a few cases, we feel that the OE valving may be too stiff. The 3rd generation of the RX7 (1993-96) is an example of such a vehicle. For this car we offer only the 5 position Illumina adjustable shocks. Since the stiffest setting is similar to the factory settings for the R-1 model, the driver can go to a softer setting to improve ride and handling. This works especially well for rough surfaces.

Both Performance and 5 position adjustable Illumina shocks and struts are available for the first and second generation RX7. "

got that from the above website.... What do you all recommend with your expericaces?

 

I recommend you do a search on tokico and another search on koni and make an informed decision based on that.

i personally prefer konis. i've had better durability with konis. plus there are a few threads out there from people who wind up rubbing with tokicos.

 

I run the Tokico's and really like them. However, Koni's do have 2 distinct advantages:

1. Ride height perches (for limited height adjustablity)
2. The Koni's can be revalved for stronger springs/coilovers

It really depends on what you are doing as to what will work better for your application.

 

The factory shocks on the R1 model are considered to be too stiff by many people including the all-knowing Howard Coleman. I don't think you will need to go any stiffer with H&R springs, and IIRC, Mazda went with a softer shock on the R2 models.

That said, I think everybody agrees that Konis are superior to the Tokico shocks. It's all about how much $$$ you want to spend.

 

I have Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustables. They are easy to adjust, and offer a great ride. You can turn them up to 5 and that is pretty stiff for street, but not for racing/autocross.

 

I used to have tokico with h&r springs. They were great for street with little of spirited driving. I've changed the springs to RSR Down springs for little more comfort and to being the ride hight up. *If you are going to have something larger than stock 16" rims, you will more likely to rub the font fenders.
