how can i stiffen the rear suspension???
I am building a 1991 rx7 drag car with a 327 small block chevy in it and trying to get it to work with the factory rear and the factory suspension. I am going to get a rear strut tower brace and a lower arm brace as well as removing the dtss. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Solid or Delrin Bushings everywhere. www.mmr-direct.com
Also stiffer shocks/springs. You can even go to a solid rear if you are so inclined.

Old school trick is to put rubber blocks in the springs. This helps prevent the rear springs from compressing. I've seen them at various parts stores, typically referred to as spring blocks or lift blocks.
You could also do the same thing using Aluminum or steel, with a few holes for zip ties. You'd have to jack the car up in order to unload the springs and allow for the space to get the blocks in.
