Advanced Handling Packages

Our advanced handling packages consist of high performance springs matched with your choice of adjustable or non-adjustable struts. This is the ultimate setup for a street driven car.

Strut Tower Bars
When you corner hard, the forces can cause the chassis to flex which reduces the feel and consistency of the car. To eliminate this, you can place a brace between the strut towers which adds rigidity and helps you “feel” the corner much better.

Struts
The struts are responsible for everything from cornering and body roll to steering response and overall ride quality. We offer the Tokico line of struts because of their superior workmanship, reliability, and affordable prices. The Illuminas are fully adjustable from “highway cruising soft” to “autocrossing stiff”.

Springs
Lowering the car with properly designed springs can dramatically improve the handling. The spring kits we offer have been designed for the street and are completely compatible with stock struts or the Tokico struts.

 

 

Cusco Adjustable Front Strut Tower Bar
The Cusco Front Strut Tower Bar from Japan, helps reduce chassis flexing while cornering. This helps to divert the cornering forces to the suspension components instead of the chassis so that they may work effectively. The Cusco bar is adjustable and very easy to install, it comes in blue powder coated finish for durability. Cusco is a premier Japanese aftermarket manufacturer that develops high end, race-proven equipment.

Tokico Illumina Struts have been our struts and shocks of choice for many years. After testing nearly every brand of strut and shock available for the RX-7, we’ve found them to be the best for street and track use. Made by Tokico, who is the OEM supplier for Mazda and the majority of all Japanese auto manufacturers, the Illuminas feature externally adjustable compression and rebound simultaneously to 5 different settings so you can easily customize your RX-7’s ride quality to your own tastes. We have evaluated other manufacturers and they do not compensate for wear, offer adjustment for rebound only, or just insanely expensive. Performance and value, that’s what you’ll get with the Tokicos. Full set shown.
