pics - Convertible Racing Beat Springs - just released
Here they are. Racing Beat says 20% stiffer than stock. These in combination with the
Tokico non-adjustable "blue" struts I'm installing should provide a bit better handling
without sacrificing ride quality.
Speaking of ride quality my other's rx-7's setup of ground control coilovers & tokico's
provides a HUGE leap in handling on the street & track, but they bottom out too easy
on rough pavement & potholes. I'm thinking of changing the coilover springs to
something more soft or switching to the "gold" tokico adjustables.

I have been using the Racing Beat convertible springs and swaybars on my 91 vert for about a week now. I also installed the KYB AGX's. The first thing I noticed was how quiet my car became. The old parts I removed were probably original (only 180K mile old). My friends are wondering if I had gotten a new car. It actually sits about an inch lower than before. I can't wait until I get it on an autocross course. The only problem I had was the final step of tightening the end links of the sway bars. Becuase the car sits that much lower I could'nt get to the nuts to tighten them! Not until I got the car on ramps.
The car is my daily driver, so I have racked up 450 miles on this setup. Anyway I am very satified with my suspension mods at this time.
