i just bought a 93 rx7 and was wondering what are the best coilovers for it? its not gonna be a daily driver and may never see the track. just want it to have a better stance and to be done the right way.

thanks,


brian

 

if it'll never see the track, why waste the extra $2-3k on the "best" coilovers? if all you want is a lower ride, go with something cheap and spend the extra few thousand dollars somewhere else.

 

^agreed. Get some springs and struts, and save $2k

 

What Kind Of Setup Should I Get? Will I Need C/c Plates?

 

the FD doesn't have Mc struts so what good would the castor/camber plates be? NONE

 

Just cuz hes not taking it to the track doesn't mean he doesn't want excellent quality equipment. IMO, i would look into what TEIN has to offer as far as coilovers but if you do want to save a pretty penny then i would recommend Eibach sportline springs in combo with KYB AGX shocks. i loved 'em on my 240. goodluck with your new 7.

 

thanks man i'm new to the scene so i dont know much. i'm looking to get it pretty low without any rubbing

 

I've been thinking about what to do with my suspension set-up for a couple months.

I'm planning on buying some RSR springs from AutoRND, and wrapping them around a set of Koni yellows. For the street and a few track days, I think this will be about perfect. I don't think you can get AGXs for an FD.

If you really want coilovers, you can't go wrong with ZEAL

 

zeal function X or SilkRoad

 

Tein Flex

 

If all you are looking to do is to lower the car and never take it to a road course, you could do Tein Basics or a Tokico Shocks/Ground Control coilover combo. Both would be about the same price range ($700-800) and will get you where you want to be.

BTW, both are trackable (should you ever decide to try it) as I've know several people to use those on road courses and they were not novice drivers.

 

Moton makes a 4 way adjustable damper for the FD, it only costs about $10.5k. That's the kind of price range you're looking at for the best.

For the street something like Koni Yellow shocks and Eibach Pro-kit springs will be much better, and much cheaper.

 

$10.5 ok maybe i dont want the best....lol hell thats half the price of the car. i think i'm leaning toward the ground control

 

Keep in mind that the RX-7 application for Ground Control is just the sleeves and springs. You still need to buy the shocks unless they now have a package which they are offering (its been a while since I looked at their products).

 

Koni Yellow shocks and Eibach Pro-kit springs works for me.
