lowering for the purpose of lowering is not the right way.

i was just saying... if you want to lower it just to lower it, you can cut the springs, but that sure as hell isn't the right way :|

do a search for it... something about konis, kybs, or eibach.

Mazdatrix has an entire kit to ensure your 2 inch drop. Even has the camber correction plate with it, and whatever else needed.

www.mazdatrix.com

King springs makes the lowest springs for the 1st gen RX-7. Run a search for them, not exactly sure where they are, or who stocks the springs.

good luck.

What if you only wanted to lower the rear, can you buy half a set of springs?

You can buy them in components from racing beat. You can buy what ever you want. If you wanted 3 you could do that too, and let the one side jacked up.. that would be a sight, sounds like something I would see on a honda around here.

Yep, www.Re-Speed.com has everything needed. Great products and great service.

Front coilovers (you choose the spring rate)
Rear adjustable perches (you choose the spring rate)
Hollow front swaybar (like a work of art)
