Aftermarket Springs and AAS?

[Max777]

yes because it will physically work.

no because the aas and stock shocks are not designed for lowering springs, therefore you would be advised to upgrade to kyb or the like which is designed for stuff like that a bit better. This would delete the system.

If you want to put springs on the AAS shocks, then power to you, it will work.

Agreed it will work but the shocks will be under constant load unless the new springs dont drop the car at all, which will blow them faster, as far as i know there are no replacements for the aas shocks

Nope, just stock, and for the price, I'd rather get AGX's or Illumina's. he car will be dropped on Racing Beat springs and either of those struts. I'm just looking around for the best prices...

I understand that some states you NEED to keep some of this stuff, but i can't imagine why anyone would want to unless you are trying to restore the car perfectly stock down to the last detail?

Emissions removal also makes it a lot easier and less of a hassle to pull the top intake off if you need to have access to the injectors or wiring harness.

Because im only 21 and do not plan on driving a 1986 mazda rx7 base model for the rest of my life. Why would someone want to buy my car if i have to tell them that its not legal in half of america to drive (technically all but you can go without where there are no emissions test).

I was just proving that instead of going through all the work of taking apart half my engine and buying 40-50 dollars in block of plates and caps, and lose bottom end by wiring open my ports, i spent 6 bucks and an hour of my time to get low/top end torque and still keep my engine intact. I plan for the future. Now my 10th ann im going to ditch it all. I plan to run that to the ground...

Im also tired of all my friends ditching broken components of there cars, ghetto rigging the engine to run without them then using the "i took it off for weight reduction excuse" If i can have an average 150-200 pound friend ride with me and not notice to much performance loss, i dont see the need to ditch 30 pounds of crap, unless im gutting the interior too. And power steering, and ac, and heat, and my radio...... Its all or nothin man.

Where do the Stances have independent rebound and compression adjusters? I only see one adjuster, unless I'm missing something.
