My 93 RX-7 R1 broke a rear toe link which results in terrible wheelhop on turns.

I am looking for the best parts that could be used to replace both rear toe links, both rear trailing arms and the differential bushings to get it over with and prevent future problems. Any specific parts recommendations and why?

Thanks.

Check out the "Pettit Launch Kit, Track Pro Race":

Thanks, their differential mounts look pretty good but the toe links & rear trailing arms look pretty similar to the stuff sold by Banzai Racing http://banzai-racing.com/store/93+_rx-7_suspension.html and I was wondering if there were any real differences to justify the price premium of the Pettit stuff or could there be a better alternative.

You can also save money buy avoiding replacing the rear longitudinal/trailing arms. You can replace the front bushings of the stock longitudinal arm with solid delrin (just like what Pettit does with the solid diff mounts). The only real reason to replace the longitudinal arms is to gain clearance with wider tires.


I personally have the solid diff and longitudinal bushings. They work well. Wheel hop isn't fully eliminated. I think the last thing that will take care of that will be a diff brace (which I now have but have not tested just yet).

Diff bushings and our brace, will help the most http://banzai-racing.com/store/93+_r...ferential.html

Then install the trailing arms and toe links if there is any issue remaining. http://banzai-racing.com/store/93+_rx-7_suspension.html

That sounds reasonable. Where can you get these front bushings?

The only broken part is the left toe link. I just wanted to do everything to prevent future headaches What is the difference between your rear toe links and longitudinal arms than that of Pettit? You can PM or e-Mail me with your answer if this is awkward for you.

There is no difference in quality, fit, form or function................just price

If you ordered the Banzai racing diff mount you will be happy, I didnt think it would make a big differnece in my wheel hop but i went from hopping, to spinning tires smoothely. Also, cant beat the price and customer service Banzai provides.

Thank you Banzai Racing, I got my rear toe links yesterday. Perfect packaging, double boxed with peanuts surrounding inner box; links are bubble wrapped & sandwiched in foam. I thought it was jewelry
