Hi. new member from California here.

So I'm building a dedicated track rat out of my old RX-7 GSL-SE. I'm hoping some of you 1st gen rx-7 gurus/racers have some advice on alignment specs and ride height (the coilovers on the front are easy, might have to cut a coil to adjust height out back)

Suspensionwise, this is what it has:

Ground Control camber plates (front)

Ground Control coilovers (front)

tokico illumina 5 way adjustable struts all around

Eibach springs all around

Suspension Techniques front swaybar

removed rear swaybar.

I think this is fairly close to what the spec7, PRO7 spec suspensions were although my spring rates are not as high. not positive tho.

The car is basically for track days & HPDE so full race specs are great.

Very interested in the conventional wisdom on the proper ride height nad how to achieve it.

any help/tips appreciated.

thanks.

Would need to know what the lb rate of your coil springs are.....

Where is California...somewhere north of Taihape??
You guys will one day learn that the sound of gravel on the floorpan is bliss......
