^^^, this looks like a great solution, what setup did you run on the rear????
So based on this, do you think other miata front coilovers would work for the front????
I might be able to get a decent used set for cheap.

1 more question, are there any major differences in terms of suspension, between S1, S2 and S3 SA/FBs?????

The rear was not as cheap, and never quite that low. Ended up with a Ford rear-end and custom watts link. You'll have to find someone on here's who has slammed a stock rear to answer that question

Probably. The diameter of the RX7 strut assembly is the same as the strut on an MX5, so I would imagine any coilover body meant for an NA Miata would work.

I can't speak for all revisions, but I've had this work on an 85 GSL-SE and an 83 GSL.
