might be too low for those lower arm mounts.... maybe? i might its not really that much lower than static mounts for a solid axle, but when the wheels go up, they might be bad off....

crap.

I don't understand why you're putting an IRS in it. What's the advantage?

it fit rather well, a good design, and the original Rx-7 suspension geometry is analogous to rotting oranges.

I disagree emphatically. I think its more like rotting pumpkins.. Droopier and saggier, and more stinkier.

Yeah, but why not just do a proper 5 link? Simple and sturdy and I think there might be someone around here that can provide the bitchn' parts...

end cost was higher for the 5 link. I spent about two months weighing the options.


that said, i checked over my friends 94 rx7, going to be moving my subframe up some to make the bottom mount flush with the floor pan.
