RB's springs are "known" for this, are you joking me?

Although i wont be buying these springs anytime soon, becos i backed my rx7 into my damned suburban yesterday. Got soem body work to do.
I think someone had a bad case of "I was too cheap to change out my old, blown, factory shocks when I installed my racing beat springs" syndrome. Did you actually research how those spring rates compare with other springs for the FC? I think you should do your homework. Another good thing about these springs are they are progressive rate, giving you great initial bite on turn-in's instead of only in extreme handling. The only sacrifice to that is the ride isn't as comforable in normal conditions as progressive rate springs.

don't think i'd ever get rb springs for my car because i don't like how low they drop the back.

i am considering a ground control coil-over set with linear eibach springs though. the gc coilovers are 400 for an FC. 100 bucks a corner seems pretty good to me.
