74 Rx2 Performance Struts
#1
I have a 1974 RX2 with a j-spec 12a, RB header, 5- speed, locking diff, koni struts, adjustable sway bars, 450 & 250 lb springs and a full roll cage. The car was raced in scca and irdc in the ITA class several years ago. Was a very competitive car in its day, and may be once more. The Koni suspension is leaking oil, and one of the struts is no longer damping. I know that I can have them rebuilt, but the rebuilders want like $500. They want even more money to revalve them and shorten them, and another 100 each to add a compression adjuster. Is there any one who makes a dual adustable strut for these cars anymore? Is ther any way to mount Rx-7 stuff on this car? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, is there anybody around that still races these things?

the 1st gen rx7 front struts and brakes will go right on, you do need the rx4 steering things (it goes on the ball joint and the strut goes on it) and the rx4 outer tie rods. this may not be class legal for you though

RX 7's use 4 bolts on top of the struts. RX 2's use 3 bolts. I don't know about the other stuff mentioned. I have been thinking about the possibility of redrilling the towers for the RX 7 struts. Have no idea on the clearance.
