High side? I disagree, particularly considering how finicky 3rd gen RX-7s
can be with regards to modifications. Moreover, I guess it depends on how
competitive one wants to be, e.g., the Tri-Point RX-7 has a $4,000 set of
coilovers. Heck, I've a '93 with only modest engine mods that total $4500
(ASP legal, of course) and I have yet to touch the suspension, wheels, or
tires.
It's always much less expensive to buy a car that's already modded.
