Looking for any and all advice on suiting a Turbo II Rx7

AWR actually makes tubes for the 2nd gen rx7 that are considerably thicker than stock and accept the bilstin inserts. This is only for the front. i plan on looking into there materials.

I was out in the rain cleaning up and throwing piles of parts away.
And then to the eye doctor for this bad corneal abrasion.
Same tomorrow and i have to zoom to Tacoma to pick up a cam.
In round figures about 140 a tube, and then spring seats upper and lower in the miod 20s each, lock rings about 16 ea.
Inserts about 235 with choice of upper pin for stock top mounts or big and fat for using spherical bearings.

Yes, we used these on Dave Hintz's car at first. The trouble is they are really made for road racing and they aren't really long enough and it seems to me they only accepted a 32mm Bilstein cartridge. They are not a bushed housing that accept an insert they are just tubes that take a cartridge. It was some standard 32mm size BMW application that was revalved and they bent. Don't even think about using their spherical bearing top mounts because those will just hammer out and fail.
What you need to do is have John build you something with his nice bushed housings and real 40mm rally inserts.
