buy a gas saver instead. N/A engines will last but your wallet may not.

What year Rx-7? Id go with RB Springs, and Tokico blues. Little lower not too much, and the shocks are way better than stock.

Who will install all this for you? I can do it all for a nominal fee. Also where about are you in California?

I live in Los Angeles near Pasadena. Give me a call.

Well, if you're going to be asking a whole bunch of people for help or advice, the respectful thing to do is to try to make yourself as easily understood as possible. Since you make such good money, you should understand that some people don't have the time to try to decipher what you're trying to say.

You're the one asking for help. You should spend more time making sure that you're easily understood (instead of making the people that you're asking for help waste their time trying to understand).

Hope that makes sense to you. It's nothing personal against you. Just one of those etiquette things.

i understood him just fine, you guys are just being regular fucktards again. it's not like he's typing "wut r teh wayz ta gets mah ride pimpin?"

i run KYB AGX's with Tein S tech springs, not all that pricey and feel just fine for long road trips or trips to the autocross.

btw, I'm running Mazdaspeed coilovers with Koni shocks in the rear (the originals were blown). I'm pretty happy with my setup, but it cost me an arm and a leg.

I use Koni Yellows with Eibach springs... Koni's complete set will go for $600, a set of Eibachs will run $150.
