The suspension on my RX-7 as it sits right now is a work of art. You have one very lazy person who tried to do something as cheap as possible with one goal in mind: make it low, son. So he proceeds to cut the front springs making the car very low retaining a little of the original suspension resistance to bumps and ride quality but for the rear he has an ace up his sleeve... He finds some Tokico's...quite possibly off another car and mates them with some lowering springs for a honda....now to make sure it sits real low-like he invests in a hack saw and goes to town on the shocks. I'm not sure what exactly he removed but if you jack the car up, the wheel will sag until the shock is fully extended and the spring is resting against the bottom part of the shock. Basically clusterfucked enough that if I hit a bump hard enough the shaft could snap and break it in half. The kicker is the ride quality this gives the car...the front wheels hit a bump in the road and absord some of the impact but when the rears hit it, the shocks bounce using the front wheels as a pivot point and drives my head into the cabin ceiling.



So I got some coilovers for it.

I thought that the EDFC was for allowing you to make them bearable and then sporty on the fly.?
