Suspension upgrade / shocks

[biznatch]

Rear shocks have plenty of options based on the mustang. The ones especially I fitted are these:
  KYB 743020 Rear AGX Manually Adjustable Shock Absorber (743020-KYB)




They have a plastic dial which can be adjusted from under the car rather than the top of the strut, I prefer this.

Konis are also available via Europe but they are made to order in batches of about 50 so there was going to be a 3 month waiting time on those and I bought the AGX' s in the mean time. .

Thanx guys. Looks good Derek.,what setup did you go for and if you don't mind me asking What sort of money are we talking? still haven't got around to putting jumbo on the road

It was nearly a grand for all 4 corners, with springs and adjustable front top mounts.

Sorry for not replying before !

Can anyone help, Are FC and FB front top mount PCDs different? If so which is smaller or wider? any info appreciated.

One of the guys who bought those cheap FC strut braces should be able to answer that. I suspect the FC will be slightly wider, but don't think it will be by much.

EDIT: Here it is: http://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-s ... fb-466276/

I suspect the shock rod diameter is different between the two as well.

What are you trying to do?

I'm thinking of trying to use some HSD coilovers from an FC

So after reading this thread a few times my understanding is:

MR2 mk1 Rear Shocks for the FB Front
&
Mustang 79-93 rear shocks for the FB rear

Is this correct? I would like just the straight swap as I just bought some super low king springs from Aus. The welding and chopping and camber plate mods I read from the links seems like more trouble than its worth.

Thanks

Thats correct. They were a direct replacement front and rear. Note the bottom fixing on the rear mustang shock is about 1 or 2mm thicker than the stock one. I overcame this by removing some material from the shock instead of splaying the shock mount, if that makes sense.
Heres some pics after install.
