Mazda RX7 Air Suspension Guide
The 1992-1995 RX7 is one of those 90s vehicles that really made a lasting impression on the car enthusiast crowd. Mazda really knocked it out of the park with this sleek, rotary-powered vehicle. While the RX7 is well known for its ability to be built for high performance, many outfit their RX7 with good suspension and high-end wheels. As one of the more popular suspension choices, air suspension is a perfect fit for the RX7 body style. Today, we will look at what you need to add air suspension to your Mazda RX7.
Do Mazda RX7s Have Air Suspension
Since the specific generation of RX7 we are talking about today was built in the early 90s era, air suspension was less standard than it is today. Nissan opted for performance suspension in the form of tuned shocks and struts with coil springs. This has not stopped car enthusiasts from tricking out their RX7 with aftermarket air suspension.
What Do I Need To Add Air Suspension To My Mazda RX7?
If air suspension is on your list of mods for your RX7, there are a couple of different ways you can get your kit. The first and easiest way is to purchase an AccuAir air management kit and pair it with a set of RX7 air struts.
Air Compressor
To start things off, you will need air for your air suspension kit. You will need an air compressor to supply your air suspension system with compressed air. Air suspension air compressors take in outside air, compress it, and send it to your air tank.
Air Tank
From the air compressor, your compressed air will travel to the air suspension air tank. Compressed air is stored in the air tank until it needs to be used in the system when you need to air up.
Air Lines
To get the compressed air to each component, you will need plenty of air line. Air suspension air line is made from ABS and will connect all of your components together to deliver compressed air.
Valve Manifold
When you press a button to air up in your vehicle, an electronically controlled valve in the valve manifold opens, allowing air to flow to your air strut, the valve manifold contains small valves to control each strut independently.
Management System
Air suspension technology has come a long way since its early beginnings. AccuAir is a leading producer of air suspension management, offering some of the most technologically advanced management systems on the market. These systems allow you to easily control your air suspension system from your controller or smartphone.
Air Struts/Shocks
The last thing you will need is a set of air struts. Air struts are the only component that will be vehicle specific, so you will need to purchase the correct RX7 air struts. These struts directly replace the factory shocks and struts and allow you to adjust your suspension at the push of a button.
