2g camber adjustment?

Yea. It said 05/01 on all (probably production date, because there's so much old aftermarket parts on it)
And 472 on each rear. I only checked one front but it said 572

I didn't check if it had a perch up top. Ill do that tomorrow

Just to be sure the 420a will have the same eye-bolts?
 
Yes, all 2G suspension bits are the same in the front.

I don't think you ever said what shocks you have. The MaxSpeed set-up is a sleeve-and-spring kit, right? If so, there are not many OTS shocks that can handle 472# rears. Even Konis, without revalving, won't cut it.
 
Thank's. I might just get the stock eye-bolts and machine some offset bushings.

Yes koni yellows. and yes on threaded sleeves.

If the koni's won't handle the 472, what spring rate do you recommend?
 
^ agreed. An un-revalved rear Koni Sport maxes out between 350 and 400. With only 572 in the front, stopping between 300 and 350 makes perfect sense to me, too. 350 for an autocross focus. 300 for anything else, including daily-driving comfort.

If you don't have RM swaybars, then those are next.
 
Just for reference (as I'm not sure I've seen this before), what does am un-revalved front Koni Sport max out with? I'd guess somewhere around 600-700.

A representative once told me that they should handle 500-600. I've seen some rx7 guys use 700's on OTS konis. No idea if they were overwhelming the shock at that point. Probably can't compare across platforms.
 
Can someone confirm if this upper spring mount will allow the spring to stay square to the shock?

That looks to be just a hat for the spring to work with an OE upper mount. The spring will remain coaxial with the shock, but the spring and shock with not be a tangent to the mount, so you will have side-forces inside the shock. But I'm not 100% sure since I can't see if there's a spacer keeping the hat off the mount or if it's just loose.
