Can anyone suggest where i can get a resonably priced front wheel bearing replacement kit? also stainless steel brake lines for an 85 first gen?

ACT prices are insane! ive been quoted anywhere from $120 per side to $120 for a complete front end kit??

Cheers Matt.

http://rockauto.com/ might check them instead of NAPA or Autozone (if you want to shop on line)

mazdatrix is great for Racing Beat products: ss lines, headers, etc

I'm new to the 1st gen rx7 world and car maitenance. If I am replacing the bearings what all will i need? Do I just need the inner and outer wheel bearings and bearing collar?

I replaced my front wheel bearings and the front brakes/hubs a few months ago. I ordered SKF(actually OEM brands Koyo and NSK in a SKF box) bearings and seals off parstamerica.com for a resonably price but it looks like they have gone up in price since then. You'll need a bearing race drive too unless you are reusing the races and a spring scale to measure the roll resistance.
