Racing Beat Suspension Springs - 1979-85 RX-7 - Set of Four
Racing Beat has designed suspension coil springs that are suitable for a street or track use. This complete set of front and rear suspension springs were designed specifically for the 1979-85 RX-7 by Racing Beat’s engineering staff. Ideally suited for use with either the OEM shocks, or your favorite aftermarket units, these springs interchange exactly with the stock springs on the RX-7.
These springs have been designed with a rate increase of approximately 20% (front - 145 lb/in) and 20% (rear – 112 lb/in) with a modest drop of 1-inch (front and rear).
If your car is still running on the original shocks, it is certainly time to consider a replacement! We do not suggest installing aftermarket performance-based springs on a set of tired high mileage shocks, as this may produce a "springy" and bouncy ride. If you prefer to keep the ride quality of your car more “stock like”, you may wish to replace your old shocks with a set of Mazda units, or an equivalent set of aftermarket OEM style replacements. However, if you wish to noticeably improve the handling performance of your car, combine a set of new springs with a set of aftermarket Tokico or Koni performance shocks. Although the ride quality will become noticeably firmer, the handling improvements will be a much-welcomed improvement.
