dito on that, thats what i did and now my skills exceed my car right now (stock suspension only goes so far) but anyway learn what your car likes and dislikes, once you understand it then you can mod it to your liking.

Well on my first RX7 i had Tokiko Blue non adjustables with
racingbeat springs..turbo II wheels and no chamber adjusters..
This is the cheap way to go for something stiffer..I learned on dead shocks and whatever suspention i had or could afford at the time..At the moment My 89 FC3S GTUs rx7 has,
KYB GR-2 shocks with Eibach Springs on front
and on back i have,
stock TURBO II shocks and springs..YES it is stock on a GTUs.
1988 TURBO II RIMS

I've got KYB GR2's on all 4's with the stock springs... i love it.. wouldnt ever go any stiffer cuz i can already feel every pebble on the road. Oh yeah and stock GXL wheels.
