anyone have some 1986-1991 rx7 oem suspension shocks/struts ? i guess its softness and long front travel works way better at the drag strip then my tight megan coilovers.

rumor has it that casey almost has his car figured out now so i have to get my 60 foots straightened out. next year might not be a walk in the park like this year was

Correction... Casey's car is figured out as of 10pm last night.

About suspension, i have been looking for something to go to from the stock shocks, i hear that the stockers is still the way to go for straight line unless something custom is fabricated up.

Ryan I know where a few fc's are in a junk yard if you don't mind pulling them.

Looks like Chase auto in w'loo has some and Sandhill in Tama has some, the fronts at least and they were around $35-40 a pc.

Car country in newton iowa has two of them. If you end up going let me know i'd probably wonder out there would ya. I have a couple other things I would mind snagging.

My old stock FC's 100k mile suspension was so loose the weight transfer made it look like a straight drag car.

And my car? Got it squared away :)

Good. Need to hit the dyno again but in all, much better than in months past. Little bit of work left to be done.

December streetcar shootout? :)
