Howdy.  I have a '93 RX-7, and moved from SCCA Solo II super stock to A
Street Prepared this year.  I'm fully prepped engine-wise, and know where
I'm headed with the rest of the car, but am trying to work out my
suspension options.

I'm sticking with stock wheels for this season, mostly due to cost (the
stockers are 16x8, and under 15 pounds - I don't think I can afford a real
upgrade here, but comments are welcome).

Given, say $1500 to work with, what suspension upgrades should I consider
for best bang-for-the-buck?  Bone stock, currently (R1-wise).

I can go with just shocks, or with the RSR coilovers.  I know that the
Tri-point ASP winner used a custom coilover setup with Penske shocks, but
I believe that is out of my price range.

I am definitely going to do the swaybar mount upgrade, and I know I need
shocks.  But should I spend "the rest" of my money on springs, bushings,
or bars?

Any shock recommendations also appreciated.

Thanks a bunch,
Steven
