I saw an 85 rx7 with the shocks and springs in the rear hatch. I have searched high and low for this kit to do it to my rx7, but I haven't come close to finding one. Does anybody know where I can get this mod, or how to do it? I would appreciate it alot.

He means on his car there is nothing to hold up the rear hatch when you open it. It will just fall on your head. That is how it is on my 1985 gs too so I believe he is looking for a kit to make this stay up. I am also looking for this so if anyone know please post links to where we can buy.

actually, i think he means where the shocks and springs are mounted diiagonally inside the car with a central mounting point in the center of the car. Look at a rear suspension on alot of the prototype cars that run Lemans. I've seen one FD done this way.



Why do you wanna do this other than aesthetic reasons?

Am I going to have to be the guy that says:



"remove rear suspension, open hatch, place suspension in hatch"?



'Cause that seems really obvious. Maybe put a blanket down to save the carpet.
