New to Racing need help with suspension Ideas.

Are there any books or anything to go by too? I do not know much about the theory behind it and hopefully I can get everything set at a good starting point.
thanks again,
charlie

P.S. the car is second gen and I will be racing ITS.

Thanks for the nod Travis, but I know very little about Gen 2 7's. I told Charlie about as much as I could when we put the cage in. Basically it was that he wouldn't go wrong with Koni's if a set came along

He's going to have to go through every square inch of the suspension/brakes/bearings though. The car has sat out in the elements since around 01.

i was thinking it was a first gen.....

but yeah, "can't go wrong with koni" is pretty much right. they're on my car.

Take a look at www.awrracing.com, they offer the best of everything, but prefer Bilsteins over Koni. Consider double adjustable Koni's, check with Flatout.

Alot of the Mazdaspeed parts are sold by other companies such as AWR, and on the flip side alot of parts Mazdaspeed sells are made by other companies such as AWR.

You obviously need to take a look at what you want to do with bushings on the car (bearing, Delrin, poly), some way to adjust camber, coil overs, etc.

Here's a thought... the single adjustable rod for camber in the rear between the subframe and chassis as well as the individual camber adjusters between the control arm and subframe are not legal but *most* run them... have not seen a legal way to adjust rear camber.
