Rotorhead87's Cosmo 13B-RE FC3S build-up

[rotorhead87]

Okay just another quick update everyone.

At the time before the college shut down the police training field, my college would allow SCCA to use the field to hold autocross event every month. They closed the place down because locals constantly complained of the noise. Stupid of them to do that, since they closed it down 3 or 4 kids have lost their lives illegally street racing. Anyways I really got into autocrossing and I figured it was time to retire the twenty year old suspension. Well I figured if I was gonna change things up, I'll upgrade the majority of the 7's suspension.
Anyway I bought a complete set of Energy Suspension bushings, Delrin bushings, Mazda Motorsports competition transmission, motor, and differential mount. As for the struts, JR Fabrication & Performance decided it would be best to build my baby a custom coil-over suspension. It consisted of KYB AGX shocks, Suspenion Specialist springs, and a Bilstein coilover kit. Thinking of the future JR Fab & Performance decided to go ahead and reinforce a rear cross member, clean up rear trailing arms, and control arms for when my car is ready to begin rehaul. I recently bought a set of front and rear cusco strut bars, so I'll have pictures of them eventually.

Here's a picture of my custom coilover set: fully adjustable KYB AGX struts, 250lbs and 350lbs Suspension Specialist springs , Bilstein coilover kit, and Ground Control camber/caster plates


Cleaned up control arms with energy suspension bushings...yes those control arms are polished


Rear cross member you can't see in the picture but all the seams are welded together solid. Also a cleaned up set of rear trailing arms.


Cusco OS-T front and rear strut bars


That's it for what my suspension setup consist of. Enjoy everyone!
