Default Suspension Suggestions
I just bought a 91 RX7, and the front springs are shot. I figure I will do all 4 corners of the car with springs/struts/shocks. What I need is suggestions. This vehicle will just be street driven, not raced.

Your suggestions would be helpful.

A set of Tokico Illuminas with some Eibach springs will be a decent set up to run. Nothing over the top & will give you a little adjustability in the dampening.

Good choice! Also, look into Racing Beat springs.

Another thing to look into is the bushings. If they haven't been replaced Energy Suspension has a full line of suspension & chassis bushings. Then maybe upgrade the sway bars & buy a set of strut tower bars if in your budget & needed.
