I feel it is time to replace the tired suspension so have purchased new shocks/struts & springs & fitting kits.
When I replace them I want to do a straight swap & not use any old parts but cannot find the upper spring mounts & Insulators. They do not seem to be available, I have tried all the obvious places :?: ......any suggestions

If no luck with your search Pete, try giving Clive at MazdaRotaryParts a call. He's got a growing network of worldwide suppliers able to source parts for RX-7's.
