For those that wanted prices:
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...64#post8239064
That thread has everything listed. I'll cut a few bucks off if you local guys want anything.
For Fort Wayne area guys (basically anyone who hangs out on this thread):
Hood: $165 picked up
Tails: $165 picked up
Struts: $265 picked up
Bumpers: $100 each picked up
Hood and taillights are available NOW, the struts are available if someone has crap stockers they can give me to put on the car (I have to deliver it to Indy, so it needs to roll). Bumpers won't be available until the week of the 20th, as I have to go pick them up from Indy (they're from another car). I can't for the life of me remember the color, they're either dark blue or black. LOL.
Somebody buy my hood, I really don't want to ship that thing. Hell, I'll even help you install it on your car if you want.

when you say the struts are adjustable im assuming you mean dampening they aren't ride height adjustable right? with that setup will the car sit any lower than stock? how many inches lower? im planen on buyen the hood for sure and posibly the rest of what i mentioned.. i just gotta wait a week or 2 (buyen too much gotta get outa the hole first) and u wouldn't have to ship anything i can pick up

They are adjustable dampening, not height, you are correct.
They are quite a bit lower then stock; around 1.5-1.8" With my 17" wheels I have about 1-2 fingers between the bottom of the fender and the top of the tire. In my opinion, they are just about the perfect blend between ride height and streetability. I definitely like the ride on them as well, the progressive Eibach springs ride really nice and still keep it planted firmly in the corners.
I'd be keeping the strut/spring combo, as I really do like it a lot, except the new chassis I bought came with the exact same setup already on it, and I really don't need two sets. LOL.
I haven't had any bites yet on any of the stuff you're looking for. So as of now, you have first dibs.
I like the idea of pick up. Shipping is a pain in my ***.
edit:
Here are some pictures of the car to get an idea of the suspension. These are my old springs, and sat about 1/8-1/4" higher in the rear, but essentially, this is how the suspension will sit, FYI, those are the tails for sale also (hood wasn't on it in these pictures):

funny story actually. got put back in and was in chicago trying to get tuned saturday. well the dyno's wideband was telling lies so was running lean to long and now showing low compression numbers so i think i might have some slightly flattened apex seal springs.... so the engine might have to come back out
i cant catch a break with this damn car

I can still remember your FB at Rotary Revolution way back when. It was by far my favorite car of the weekend, haha (I'm a bit biased being a FB guy).

I remember you saying that your dad was going to be racing it. From the pictures I'm sure the FC will be tons more hardcore.

Was your dad into racing before you let him use your FB? I think that is pretty kick *** in itself.

I would love to see it actually. Wasn't that just two days after you had finished it? (My username got changed a while back, it was Normality_Glitch. I used to go up to Fort Wayne to chill with you guys.)

It's an 88 TII with an AIT Racing (B Magic) bodykit, the S4 TII rear, 5 point cage w/ driver's side door bar, and external cutoff switch. Beyond that it'll be identical to my car, same color, same interior and engine/combination and same suspension. It's essentially my car with a little nicer body work done (was painted professionally, recently) and is NHRA legal to 9.50 seconds.
I've got my car mostly stripped now, and will be going to St. Louis to pick up the new shell on the weekend of the 20th, then I have to go through and rebuild all the harnesses (removing all unnecessary wiring, integrate my LS1 harness and get the engine/nitrous systems installed and plumbed up.
This one will be drastically nicer than my old one, as far as the swap is concerned. I'm also setting the engine 1" further back in the bay and designing a new radiator layout that lets me utilize a factory FC oil cooler up front.
edit: Oh, I found out why I couldn't shift vs. the Evo, BTW. My shifter bolts had worked themselves out (that connect the handle to the actual shifter). A few days later the entire handle came off the shifter. Loc-tite is my friend...
