Lowdown on suspension, wheels and tires
Well guys, I've decided to buy a new project car and chose the 1st gen as my starting point. I have read countless of threads on the SA/FB but none of the touch on the subject that I'm looking for.
First of let me say that I have yet to buy the car, but that is only a phone call away. I'm a member of various rotary clubs and attend MANY rotary specific events, I live in FL and 1st gens are plentiful so finding a car would be quite easy. I would like this car mostly for show duty but also for some occasional road race/auto x fun, the look I'm going for is the flush/stance look, it looks amazing on other old school rides but I have yet to see a Rx7 pull off this look, so I thought I'd give it a try. Here's what I'm looking for: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So here are the questions: 1. Suspension. -What suspension options are out there to lower a 1st gen??? -Are there any coilovers made for this chassis??? and if so, how low do they go??? -What other modifications can I do to "slam" the car??? 2. Wheels. -What is the widest wheel you can put under the stock fender??? -What is the maximum backspace possible before making any contact with any suspension part??? 3. Tires. -What is the the widest tire one can put on a 1st gen, front and back???
