    Dont do that, its ok if you wait. If you do you will appreciate it alot more when you have a better product. If you dont, you will regret it.

    If you have to ask, should you really be modding that car....

    If you're gonna do it, do it right & be done. An RX7 is a car that you really do not want to cheap out on.

    The car doesn't look too bad with those wheels, definitely needs lowered. Just remember, you get what you pay for. Meaning, you cheap out, you generally get a cheap, low quality product. This is the case 99% of the time.

    Lol, I know it needs to be lowered! Not only would it look better but it would feel better through turns. Thanks for your two cents!

    Myself, 2rotor, wanksta, kain & a few others on here have FCs. Go into the Mazda section & ask your questions. Your gonna have a bunch of replies from people who know jack shit about the car in this thread.

    dats the troof shawty.

    my $0.02 is this...

    in the late 80's, the rx7 had one of the most advanced suspension systems on any production car.

    think about it.

    also... too many people have those vatozone rims on their fc's. i swear.

    Don't buy ebay springs...

    The rims aren't that bad, like others said black doesn't look the best but hey it could be a lot worse

    Yeah, I have the sports suspension on mine(gxl) When you switch from normal to sports you can really feel a difference. But it also looks like a monster truck with it stock

    If you really want good advice get off the forums, 85% of people weather they drive a honda or a mazda dont know a god damn thing about cars. That being said if you are really looking for a decent spring I would look into Tanabe or Racing beat. You will spend more up front but your better for it in the long run. And if you are are going to be lowering the car you need to do your shocks as well. DO IT RIGHT OR DO IT TWICE!
    Try not. Do or Do not.

    Where the hell did my post go? There's a Turbo FC, FD, and RX8 in my driveway...somebodies pussy get hurt? It's a 20lb. wheel, 24-27lbs if it was a Motegi, and can be seen in just about every Nopi National photo in the late 90's.

    What's wrong with the phonedials? Paint them black and can't even see them anyways. Lighter, stronger, and more money for things that matter and will make the car look and drive better: like springs and shocks.

    Leave my GSE Certifications alone, man.

    The FC model is the next best one compared to the first gen. I'm going to go with the majority and say I don't like the rims at all. And it doesn't matter where you got them. It doesn't matter if they are real or knock off. I just don't think they look good.

    But I'm not driving your car. I'm not buying your rims for you so it doesn't matter what I think. Enjoy yourself because you do have a cool car. Later, QD.

    they are nice but I say if you are rocking a RWD car you need some lippage on the rims.
