@boostedfc what do u mean by spring rates? The person before me apparently put tanabe springs on the car idk if there lowering springs or just stiffer springs, i was just going to put the tanabe springs ontop of the ground control height adjusters.. But the front adjusters are too small and dont go over the shock.. $400 wasted on useless eibach ground control

You can't use the Tanabe springs with coil over perches, they were not designed to work that way. Are you telling me that with the Eibach/Ground control coil & sleeve you can't get the car high enough? Not only that but what kit do you have that you would need to raise the car? Half of the people I see have the car to damn low & running the the wrong offset wheels with bodykits. I'm starting to worry about you & this project. When buying suspension pieces the spring rate is the amount of weight needed to compress the spring.

Nope, the eibach front perchs didnt even fit over the shock and the back was still too low..

This is my bodykit http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS-Performan...09859/10002/-1

these are my rims, they were on the car when i got it so im not sure what size they are i think 16s but not sure

Wrong link to the bodykit. I'm not sure why the front sleeves would not fit, if I remember the rears can be different depending on the type of spring perch (brand of shocks).

[rx7Noobie]

Idk but did u see those jegs spacers? Do u think i could just out those under the tanabe springs n be done?

The spacers will work if the the spring diameter is the same as the spacer. Still not sure why the need to raise the car.

Lol, i got the kit put on and the car already had the tanabe lowering springs so now the kit is like 2 inches off the ground and i cant even leave my driveway -_- i bought the fc for 600 at a police auction and i got the bodywork fixed paint n bodykit i just need to fix the suspension wire the front signal lights and put in my new sparco seats and im registering it, btw the lights under the headlights dont wire to amything do they? The headlights r jus supposed to shine thru them?

The lens below the headlights are the FTP (flash to pass) only the JDM ones actually have a light, USDM FTP the headlight shines through.
