I put new shocks/struts and springs on the ragtop. Kyb gr-2 struts, Kyb shocks. Springs are Eibach 37/98 on the front, and 43/98 on the rear. It lowered the car about 1" overall. I need to buy a set of bars as well, if anyone has a suggestion, ill spend around 500 which should be enough. Does any one have a similar set-up? I would like to run 17"x9" or 9.5" on 40 series rubber but im not sure of the fit with the new springs



Thanks

I am running Eibach's also with KYB's. With 17x7's on mine I don't have much clearance next to the strut/spring up front to where I could fit a 9 inch wide rim.... could just be my wheels though.

I'd recommend the RB bars as well. A friend of mine who works on RX-7s and has his own TII has them and loves them
