I designed a set of camber caster upper strut plates and bearings for the 1st gen similar to another popular design but still much better and different. (RB).
Is there a demand?
I have a set on my car and it made a world of difference especially with spirited driving!!

I just finished them on Pro-Engineer CAD program and im just sourcing out a place to get the thrust bearing at a decent price so soon be ready. Dont know $$$ yet but much less than RB.

kick *** man
make the bearing the same size as stock
to run the gc units you have to get either race struts or have yours cut to be thinner
i'll take em if theyre the same price as gc units for that reason, although cheaper would be better

It would basically do the same thing as these:

The front of 79-85 RX-7's cannot be lowered (by shorter springs) more than approximately 1" before the shocks start bottoming out on hard cornering. When shocks bottom out very hard they are destroyed! This kit is the only one that will keep the shocks from bottoming and maintain the original suspension/steering geometry. It requires some time and tools to install, but is well worth it.
