I've just gotten into this RX-7 thing and i was wondering if any of you guys have any suggestions for a suspension setup, or what has worked for you. I'm sure coilovers are probably the best, but what brands do you guys recommend? Tein or what? Also, strut ties or not? Anti Roll/sway or not you know whatever. Basically i like running mountain roads and want the car to handle well in the twisties. Any help you can give would be appreciated.
I searched a little in here, but didn't find much. If there's a better place to look, throw me a link or something. Thanks.

It all depends on how much you want to spend. Your best bet is to save some money and get some Ohlens, or Silk Road Coilovers. Also, do you have an R1 or touring?

Silk roads for if you want to save money or if you have a little more cash then I would say Kei Office or Zeal

the quality of the suspension your gonna get is depending directly of how much money you'll spend.
but suspension work = suspension tuning, and a lot of $$ if you want your car to handle like no other.

This guy I know that runs MZM Performance here in Austin has spent about 10 grand in his suspension, but who else can take a turn comfortably at 150mph?

what realy improves handling, cornering, braking, acceleration and top speed at the same time is the removal of weight, and its the cheapest mod you can do

what REALLY improves handling is the driver.
