Got one
The front fender looks really nice, but the rear shows a little gap. I put some Koni Sport shox and set the rear a little lower and now it looks really clean.

I live in West L.A. The rear does look a bit high from that angle. I didn't like it, so that is why I bought the Koni struts to lower it even more. The front has very little to no fender gap at all, while the rear did have some, but not as bad as stock.

The rear needs that little bit of extra space for when the car squats when launching. I also have the Eibachs on it.
If you look at the bootom edge of the FD, its perfectly even with the pavement.

yeah, the stock chrome wheels do look really good.
I've always thought stock FD wheels were prety nice,
only problem with them was the finish... i mean wtf
is up with that grey, unshiny stuff?

IMHO I think that chrome is just asking for too much in a rx7, other cars yeah, rexy....naaaa. Well anyway, Im looking to lower the car about an inch..maybe 1 1/2. How do I do this (what to buy) Whats everyones recommendation on this without losing proformance?

Eibach kit with Bilsteins. Dropped 1" with 285/35-18's rear, 245/35-18's front. Front tucks nicely with a little fender roll-job, but lock-to-lock turns cause rubbing. Rear rubs on every launch when squatting. Not much more I can roll the 1/4 panelss without getting an aero kit.. Kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it?

OK here's my current rx. It's got stock springs and struts/shocks with 80k miles.
Here's my dearly departed rx. It had Eibachs and Tockico Illuminas.
I'd say that the Eibachs probably dropped the car around an inch up front and about 3/4 of an inch in the rear. The rear still looks a little bit jacked.

I've got Eibach's on stock touring shocks, only and using 17" rims, they are 5 star so they may look close to stock, even 17's with the size of wheels these days seem small I guess but I like the 9.5" rear!

Yes, I do. I have Eibach springs on 16 inch wheels with Tokico 5-Way Adjustable Shocks. You can see pics of my car at this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/pics-my-fd-tn-river-523478/
