I would think Hydraulics would be tough to do on a RX7. Since they have no give you mount the spring on the bottom of the hydraulic ram. I'm not sure there is room for that.



Air bags offer a better ride and generally costs less.

air bags for suspension?

SoniX 10-12-2002 12:22 PM

yeah, it lets you drop the car down, usually without screwing too much with the ride otherwise, or adding an incredible amount of weight, like hydraulics would, but I am not certain, I have always been more into functional suspension modifications rather than showy ones, though I do think it is funny to watch them sometimes.

There was a purple 1st gen here in the Seattle area that had hydos on in untill they got stolen. It also had some killer 13" wire wheels on it. It is/was so damn ugly!

Go with airbags. I used to have them on my truck. Try www.truckn.com (AIM Industries), they're stuff isn't always the best quality, but its a start.

Don't be gay, sparky.



I hate to be the naysayer here, but the idea of airbags on an RX-7 makes me ill. Go buy a shitty car if you want to ghetto-fy it.

If you truly want to install an air bag suspension kit, then I suggest you talk to a company that specializes in producing show cars. They have the fabrication equipment to do this.



There is one RX-7 that I know of, that has an air bag suspension. That is Tom Ngo's car of Team Hybrid. His car is an FD which is more marketable from a visual standpoint. I don't expect to see an air bag suspension KIT built specifically for FCs.



You're better off w/ coilovers IMO. Cheaper and you can actually race your vehicle at a autocross or drag strip. Not sure if the drag strip will let you race w/ the air bag system.
