Re: 1990 RX7 FC TII Vert
I feel it is time to replace the tired suspension so have purchased new shocks/struts & springs & fitting kits.

If no luck with your search Pete, try giving Clive at MazdaRotaryParts a call. He's got a growing network of worldwide suppliers able to source parts for RX-7's.

Re: 1990 RX7 FC TII Vert
Just fitted new Struts & Shocks, AGX Adjustable courtesy of Rich (rotarypower) & also new RB Springs. Had to wait for New Rubber Insulators from Mazdatrix.





Whilst fitting I gave the Brakes a overhaul & clean.....all ready for next year
Fitted the stainless HEL lines last year.
Fitted new ARB Bushes
Done a Oil/Filterchange whilst underneath as well

Re: 1990 RX7 FC TII Vert
Would be good to know how they feel vs what was on there before ...
Looking great and I really appreciate how rust free those inner wheel wells are
