Lowering my RX7.

[Retro_Boy_G]

Right, just looking for some info on this.. I\'m not wanting it scraping its arse along the ground.. but i want to bring it down a bit as there is quite a gap between the tyres and arches.. Can anyone recommend a good drop distance and sort of mid range springs.. i\'m looking to spend no more than £150 hopefully.. any help would be appreciated!

I wouldn\'t bother looking anywhere other than Eibach to be honest.

Could you give me a link or anything dude?

[dthebuk]

the person who sold me my car recon\'d anything above 35mm and you\'ll need to start looking into the geometry.

here are some racing beat ones.

Those are in the usa but i believe mazdarotaryparts sell racing beat products, but to ring up and ask.


or if your feeling really cheap. just cut your springs

These are the ones i was originally going to buy

But if i can pay a little bit more and get a lot better springs then I would. I\'m not looking to go any lower than 35mm...  30mm would be perfect.

haha and i\'m not going to cut the springs!

Best to keep it so you dont have to go and buy front mounts and the rear camber adjuster. I have to on mine but i might see if i can get the rear link made into an adjustable one, just a case of obtaining the right spec and diameters etc for the eyelets.

[Retro_Boy_G]

Would i need to make any mods if i was only dropping it 30mm?.. Think i might go for the Apex ones..

Ok well then, does anyone know if Apex are any good?

[TiddlesRX7]

They look ok to me (Lifetime guarantee). Just make sure you get it all checked over if your doing the fitting yourself. Oh and make sure you take pic\'s of the process and post them up on here for everyone to see.

plus 1 ^^^^^^

Cheers guys. I will just buy the Apex ones then.. Just gotta sell some Arcade goodies so fund it. I also won\'t be fitting them myself.. but whoever does it for me i will ask to take process pictures. I\'m in the process of painting my calipers.. would it be worth my while taking process pictures of that?.. I\'ve already done one.. but i can record the rest.

[TiddlesRX7]

Its up to you. but I would be interested in what it looks like with painted callipers. What colour have you gone for?

[Retro_Boy_G]

I\'ve gone for Blue.. goes well with the Rays sticker!
