Actually, i think the hot setup would be the kit that mazdacomp sells. www.mazdamotorsports.com

IT SUSPENSION KIT. Includes Camber/Caster Kit (0000-04-7205-AC), Front Coil Over Strut Kit (0000-04-7201-AC), Koni Adjustable Front Strut Cartridges (2)(0000-04-7211-KN), Koni Adjustable Rear Shocks (2)(0000-04-7214-KN), Rear Shock Mounting Kit (0000-04-7206-DP), Rear Shock Mounting Studs (2)(0000-04-7214-AA), Rear Camber Link (0000-04-7421), Eibach ERS 7' Front Springs (400lbs) and 10' Rear Springs (275lbs), Eibach Sway Bar Kit (0000-04-7302-EB).

$1,700

If i had to do it all again, i wouldnt have got the mazdaspeed coilovers. I would have bought this setup. Oh, because its a competition part, anyone can purchase it. You only have to show proof that you race to buy factory parts at a discount. Anyone can buy the competition stuff.

umm.... none of those will fit on the rear of an FC???? rear shocks have a hole at the bottom. not 2 on the side. looks like 4 fronts...

and yeah I want the mazdacomp setup too. I saw that awhile back. I bet they are made by ground control. about the same price with all the add on's, sway bars ect.

Heheh well you might as well start packing them up...

As an added incentive if you hand deliver them you can come stay at my house for a week or two... I'll even let you drive my TII to Disney World!

I would learn drifting but my racing car right now is an 87 mr2. those things are really crazy when it gets to over steering. once I get the 7 back from getting a new clutch and finish the break in period and have the power steering workign again, I'll go out to a nice parking lot and kill the tires. 340 treadwear, but by now they're probably at like 600. they're starting to crack. heh.

I would think about that suspension, but its just the wrong time I guess. I'm planning on selling the 7 I have and getting a TII (89-91 I hope). that and I'm planning on getting suspension set up for track/autocrossing purposes. probably the best I can find. that and I'm owing a lot of money to my dad for repairs and insurance . uhhh

What are the specs on the Tien RA for the FC? I saw the RA for the NSX has camber/caster plates, tender springs and 16 point adjust. shocks all for $1600 new ($2400 list price)-same for FC? What spring rates do you have? I was thinking of Cusco comp II, how does Tien RA compare?
