Score! But what of bushing kits?
So I'm reading through the Spec 7 rulebook and it allows the use of some polyurethane bushings from a specific vendor.
I went to Suspension Techniques website and searched their catalog. They don't have bushings for those applications.
I checked out Energy Suspension's website for other bushings as the rulebook says:
and found similar part numbers.
So could the first excerpt from the rulebook be a misprint? Should I contact the SCCA to verify?
I really wanna install my goodies:
But I wanna install new bushings while I'm under there.

Spacers may be added to the coil springs for weight balancing. Springs may be cut to adjust ride height. Springs maybe attached to the spring perch(s) to prevent movement. A strut brace may be added only between the two front strut towers.

the http://www.mrcmfg.com/respeed/catalog/index.php has a whole complete kit for the poly bushings check there.
The numbers you listed are correct & DON'T use anyones parts except those that are listed within the Spec-7 rules. Call Suspension Techniques or someone who sells their stuff. Call the Mazda guy from DC, Brett De someone that is involved with Spec-7 & Spec Miata race prep shop/sales.
