Are those strut spacers necessary to have when you lower your car? I'm looking to go with a 1.5" drop within the next few months...... (is that too much of a drop or should I go further?)

 

They are a spacer that goes between the strut housing and control arm. The spacer brings your roll center back to the stock position. This eliminates extreme roll center movement and provides more predictable turn-in. Basically it is 2 spacers and 4 extended grade 8 bolts. Mazda Motorsports sells them for $70.00. I have seen them for $100.00 at other suspension sites!

I pasted this from earlier in the thread. Anyway, 1.5" is not to bad. My race car is in the 2-3" range! The spacers are a must in my case!

Oh yah, $55.00 plus shipping on these. I should have them in approx. 2 weeks. I am having 10 pairs made up.

 

I could definitely dig the Carbon Fiber hood.
I am in need of a hood bad right now.
thanks
Josh

 

Josh, the mold is being made right now. I should have the first hood out in a week or so. I will keep everyone posted on when the parts are ready. THANKS!!

I was afraid when I posted this people might laugh.

 

dood, i am totally all over that hood!!!!!
were you afraid that people might laugh about the CF hood? yeah, lots of people think its real ricey! i like it.

let me know for sure!

 

I will let you know. I am actually making a fiberglass hood first for my race car then some carbon hoods. I can make a fiberglass hood just as light and I am going to be painting it so no reason to spend the extra money on the carbon when it will be painted over!

 

hell no. light weight = faster, ricey or not. i really wish i had the doh as the stock hood is pretty heavy.

 

today has been a good day...
found a guy on the First Gen forum that's gonna make custom parts for our love of first gens...and i got the loan approved today so i can buy my motorcycle!!!!
