i don't know sh*t about them, but those who do trip on me for liking the older gens.
i just really love the low key look and those older models def are not flashy.
now i want to know more about rx-7's so i am gonna read up on it.
recommend any sites for me check out besides just random googling?

well they aren't very good daily drivers (damn apex seals)
but they are excellent toys and LOVE boost (yay for less moving parts!)
i personally feel its almost a sacrilege to swap out a rotary and throw in a 350....

Can't really blame them for hating. It's like when people put the engine in the frunk of the MR2.

It depends, you might have tabs on both of the struts, tabs on one strut, or no tabs at all haha. This applies to 86'+. 85's had rear sways.

Just go look under your car and see if you have one. If you don't I'm sure getting a hold of strut housings with the tabs would be easy
