Default The impossible Has Happen

As you all know my 1994 Mazda RX-7 is a Mazdaspeed car. The only after market items I have on the car that are not Mazdaspeed is the exhusat.

Well for the last yearssssssssss or so I have been looking for a Mazdaspeed Spring set for the car. I realize I will never get the shocks but a set of springs would be nice

Well Ramy has found me a set. I only hope I can afford them.

It is a good day

Found an old Mazdaspeed Part

Doc

I have never seen a picture of the spring set. I found out that Mazdaspeed made them through my reading. I have the front and rear Mazdaspeed sway bars. I have all the bushing in Except Motor mounts. Someday I would love to have a Mazdaspeed shift knob for the car. Yes I do have a real Mazdaspeed shifter in the car, and a Mazdaspeed intercooler, AST and such.

I am unsure if Mazdaspeed made wheels or not. I have a set of 17's but are not Mazdaspeed just the OEM 99's. Have the 1999 spec turbo's when I COULD OF HAD BNR'S........CRAP.... wish PHIL would of told me SOONER

Here is a picture of the old girl. Has about 90K on her.

Very nice clean car. I use to be in Madison alot in a VR FD about this time last year. Never saw any other FD's though. What thickness is your front sway bar? How do you like it? Did you have any issues with the install? I am about to pick up the .188 for the front.

I put Racing Beat in first. See my write up I did on RX7Club.com (before the Phil Net) Here is a picture of the Mazdaspeed front bar. I had a lot of issues with the RB products including the fact that the sway bars from Racing Beat are NOT tempered. Here is a picture for you to look at.

yeah, I played the racing beat game and they hit my coilovers. I'm still trying to decide if I want to get the Mazdaspeed/comp/motorsports bar or Tripoint. I'll have to check out your write up. What sway bar mounts are you using?

I am using all OEM. The Rear Mazdaspeed fit perfect with the OEM setup. The Racing Beat did not fit. POS. I know nothing of any other make or model of sway bar. I can say I really like the Mazdaspeed bars. Mounts are all OEM. By the way the rear Mazdaspeed is adjustable and WORKS just fine without any fitment issues.

I bought my Ground Control coil overs years ago before Tein were available.
Kept the stock swaybars but made them more reactive.
Here is the rear with custom homemade solid end links.
The fronts also have them.
