These are my shocks i got from EBAY. Brand new, beautiful man . I got this for $355 shipped https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif



They discontinued the Eibach Springs. I called Mazdatrix they have one and Tirerack.com, anyone else know where they have them for cheaper.



Does anyone know if eibach is coming out with a new line of springs for FCs?

damn, i forgot that the rears are 8-way adjustable. good job man, you will notice a better ride. i know I did on my old FC with just the front struts done.



have you looked into h&r springs, I know they make springs for FD's, but try finding some for FC's, they may have them.

i would like to get progressive type springs for the harsh city driving over here. I looked at the typical ones. Ive heard so much good news about people with KYB and Eibachs.



What other ones can i use that are progressive?

I am not sure what you mean by progressive springs. Never heard that before. I see that you want something tolerable for the city, and having springs that lower the car dramatically would not be much fun.



Ooooh, jack the car up 6 inches. YO!!

I dont quite understand it either. like racing beat are Linear , so i beleive they give the same rebound for any load applied. Progressive have a range and for every level they rebound differently. The more u hit something the harder the spring will get. If someone can clear this up it would be great



Besides the Eibach what other springs are good to use with KYB

I've read that Racing Beat springs are comparable to the Eibachs (unless they're actually the same?).

rx7man629 07-27-2005 09:42 AM

What about tein springs? Ive heard that the racingbeat springs are very good, as with all of thier products.

DareBee 07-27-2005 11:21 AM

The RB springs supposedly ARE Eiback units and yes they are progressive. They have about 1.5 coils of travel at a softer rate.

I believe MazdaTrix sells those springs as well - give them a try.

Racing beat are not progressive.



I know someone who has a set that has sat brand new for teh past 10 years in his closet. he just sold his mint 10AE too...



Look up ROTRY PWR on rx7club.com He is in toronto... not sure if he want to ship it or not.

B&G and Suspension Techniques are both progressive and probably of equal quality. I've sold a lot of the STs and always had good feedback.
