what generation of rx7would you use? I just snagged the calipers off a rx7 turbo, and the front end was definatly macpherson, it did have nice alloy lower arms though.
as to the 928 uprights, they would probably work if a guy torched the frame head and buill up your own assembly.

I think the RX-7 rack and pinion steering can be adapted to fit in a super bettle so maybe the RX-7 suspension would be the best bet. The second generation (1986-1991) have aluminum lower arms. I'm not sure about the older ones. Just make sure that you get the correct suspension you want. Thebase model had 4 lug wheels but the GXL and the turbo models had 5 lug wheels. The one I owned had electronicly controlled suspension. That might be some thing for you to play with. Oh a drifting I will go, a drifting I will go, high ho the dairy oh, a drifting I will go.

Independant coil over struts in alll four corners. If I had a scanner I would show you some diagrams from my manual that I still have. Take a look at the rear suspension also. The whole thing looks like it unbolts from the body. I wish I still had my car so I could take some measurements for you.

This is the best attempt I've seen yet with familiar(in both senses of the word) parts.
