since there isnt a full coilover system for the 1st gens could you use fc coils systems or would any other mazda coilovers fit?

They've got the coilovers for the front. For the rear, you would use the adjustable perches. The reason that you don't run coilovers in the rear is because that moves the weight bearing point to the shock tower, which wasn't designed with enough strength for that.

I'm not saying that it is impossible to run coilovers in the rear, just that it would take a lot of reinforcement, which translates into a lot of work.

Right next to new post on the tool bar is the search button. On google you type in 1st gen rx7 coilovers and stuff pops up. also fc coilovers wont fit unless there just the sleeves(which re speed sells for 1st gens anyways) There is a reson why no one makes "full" coilovers for the first gens craw underneat the rear of your car and youll see why.

IF YOU JUST WANT CLIFF NOTES
