I need new suspension bushings for my 150k '85 gs, as they are shot. Does anyone know of a kit that comes with every one? I need basically every bushing in the car to be replaced with poly ones.

 

respeed

 

black dragon.com they sell energy suspension kits for Rx7

 

www.re-speed.com

Billy's got everything you need...

Thirding this.

 

Fourthing Billy at RE-Speed. That's where I got my kit from. Now I just have to wait for spring hit and get a dedicated daily driver so I can start tearing into it

 

i've got mine from black dragon www.blackdragonauto.com and have been satisfied with the poly bushings there. re speed is also a great source as mentioned!

 

Mazdatrix has them as well. Word of caution read up on replacing the bushings on the rear links. Its not always the best thing to replace the rear link bushings with poly ones, they likely will cause the rear suspension to bind and or unload suddenly.

 

My preference is for the black poly bushings. They're graphite impregnated which acts as a permanent lube. The reds ones aren't. TeSpeed does have the best prices I've seen.

 

I believe after almost 27 years of the same bushings my car came with from the factory it's about time to change them hahaha. My idler arm bushings are shot because when I turn the steering wheel I hear a knock from the joints metal to metal.

So I am looking at Billy's Re-speed kit and am confused about why there is their kit which has a few less bushings and for a couple more bucks get the full kit.

Then I read it was not recommended to replace the rear links bushings because it would cause more disturbance than the old worn in rubber. I thought it would be best to just replace all of mines since theyre all so old.

Also I did not see idle arm bushings in the Re-Speed kit so would I need to purchase those separately like Black Dragon or Mazdatrix?

Thanks for the help!

 

I got my idler arm bushing from mazdatrix. If the rear link bushings are that bad, buy OEM ones.

 

Thanks Justin shoulda asked you first lol. I see Pineapple Racing sells the idle arm bushings for like $18 something for a pair. Didnt look at Mazdatrix yet. I'm considering getting a new steering box from Mazda Comp too lol. I heard the difference in feel is worth it so that should come with idle arm bushings since thats part of the steering? Or maybe thats just the box not the whole steering system.

Edit: Justin didnt you tell me about Mazda Comp selling new steering systems for like $400? I cant find your post or PM

 

I don't know where you can get a new steering box other than Mazdatrix. I can't find the part number from Mazda...

 

new steerin box from mazda was 800+ and i believe NLA

 

For that price you might as well go with the RE-Speed rack and pinion kit. Unless of course you auto-cross your car and don't want to be bumped into a higher category.
