I bought a '83 gsl a couple weeks ago in perfect condition. shiny white paint, no dents. 160,000 miles and runs great. Anyways, I looked under the car and noticed that the rear swaybar is severly bent by the right link. I've decided to by rb swaybars and that got me thinking about springs. Can someone give me an idea how to lower my car like this 7 here?

I plan on autoxing it. What company makes a good shock for something that stiff?

LMAO

Sorry to laugh but thats the way the sway bar comes stock.

 

woops forgot to answer your question.

Buy some new springs, I like the racing beat springs myself but if you look mazdatrix sells three different brand and I believe they compare the ride height on each, well in the catalog they do anyway.

For the front you will need the racing beat spring lower kit.

hahahaha, When I looked under the car I was thinking to myself, "What the hell? did I hit something?!"
Wouldn't that lowering kit make the car look really high in the back though?

 

chopping a few coils off the back springs is no big deal.

It can have some pretty nasty effects if you try it on the front though

 

how small do these wheels look aye.. they look like 13inchers!..

 

Nothing beats the look of a first gen than a set of aftermarket rims, and maybe an inch off the height.

I might do that someday.

 

That car is awesome!! Anyone else notice the air under the front tire? I want my car to do that!!

 

I did! I think it looks a little goofy being lowered that much (or maybe that is just the lack of headlights). Either way I would just lower it an inch or so.

 

Have Racing Beat springs & sways. Lowers car about 1 inch & provides execellent cornering stability.

 

Hey Snapshot;
I plan on ordering the RB complete front and rear setup for my 84GSL Monday.
So did you really notice a big difference in the Corners???
Need to know before I shell more money to the company that owns alot of Green from my Wallet!!!

Update: RB springs came in about a week ago and I'm waiting for some Tokico Blues to arrive at my door. I'll put them in next weekend. I'm excited!

 

Ive got Tokico Blue shocks and springs and it dropped my car about 1 1/2 in all around. It rides prtty good and i can corner alright

 

rotaryrudy, take some pics i want to see what a 1 1/2 inch drop looks like

 

Are those dimond racing wheels? I think I'm going to buy some probably the 15x7 pros
