How much will the RX-7 drop?

Turn 14 and TEIN USA both list 0.8 inch, or 21 mm, at the front and 0.7 inch, or 17 mm, at the rear for the FD3S. That is a smaller drop than most H.Tech applications, so the change in stance is modest and close to level.

Does fitting require cutting the bump rubbers?

Yes, at the rear. TEIN instructs cutting each rear bump rubber 20 mm from the bottom and using the upper portion. TEIN lists no bump rubber change at the front of the FD3S. A bump stop reference guide comes in the box with the springs.

Which RX-7 models do the TEIN H.Tech Lowering Springs for FD3S fit?

The H.Tech Lowering Springs for FD3S are listed for the US-market RX-7 Base, R1, R2 and Touring from 1993 to 1995 with the 1.3 liter twin-turbo rotary. BA can confirm fitment on an imported or modified car before placing the special order.

Can these springs be used with my existing dampers?

Yes. TEIN designed H.Tech springs for OE dampers or similar replacement shocks, so healthy factory units can stay. The springs leave damping as it was and give no height adjustment, so owners wanting more control should look at the Mono Sport coilover kit listed in the notes.

What comes in the box?

Four lower springs in gold powder coat, plus warranty information and a bump stop reference guide. Silencer rubbers are supplied only on certain H.Tech applications. The springs carry a one-year TEIN warranty against defects and sag, though the finish and rust are excluded.

TEIN H.Tech Lowering Springs for FD3S Mazda RX-7

TEIN’s H.Tech Lowering Springs for FD3S Mazda RX-7 lower the car just 0.8 inch (21 mm) at the front and 0.7 inch (17 mm) at the rear, less than the roughly 1.2 inches TEIN quotes for most H.Tech fitments. That small, even drop suits a US-market Base, R1, R2 or Touring kept as a road car on its existing dampers. It is the wrong choice for anyone after a dramatic stance or adjustable height for circuit work.

H.Tech on the RX-7

H.Tech is the gentler of TEIN’s two lowering spring lines, designed and tested in North America for ride comfort with a slight gain in handling. On the FD3S the front and rear figures sit within 0.1 inch of each other, so the RX-7 comes down almost level. The springs work with OE or similar dampers, keeping the job to a spring swap plus one bump rubber trim at the rear.

About TEIN

TEIN was founded in Yokohama, Japan, in 1985 by former rally mechanic Hakaru Ichino, joined soon after by driver Yoshio Fujimoto. The team reached the World Rally Championship in 1989, and in 1995 Fujimoto won the Safari Rally in a Toyota Celica GT-FOUR, the first Japanese driver to do so. TEIN launched its own dampers in 1990 and came to supply around 80 percent of the dampers in the N1 Taikyu endurance series. TEIN USA has served the Americas from Downey, California, since 2001.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
