more to come i orderd some new factory inner & outer tie rods that the car needed ill post some pics on install when i get them in..

hey are those coilovers any good? im looking for a new set, (i think one of my cuscos are on its way out) 500 sounds like a nice deal

my buddy has them on his 240 and it drives nice..so when they get in ill let you know how they ride..

i just had a talk with 1320 about those coilovers, they dont have any in stock gatta wait a month for them to come in

looking good, i guess a need to do my own page.

looks good :icon_tup:

i ordered mine like a month ago if they dont come in, im just gonna wait and get powered by max coils

inner and outer tie rods came in today, i will take pics of them installed..

good sh*t dude. car looks good but needs the coilovers and prob quite a roll or wider front fenders to make them work. whats the offset on those guys? +10 or 0???

i actually wanna stick with stock fenders and tuck them under there, wheels are +15 suspension soon to come

First FC huh? I'm so sorry to hear that son. :lol:

Is that a Racing Beat catback on it? I'm having trouble telling from the pictures you supplied. Also does anyone know if that Mazda decal on his driver side door factory?

Your car looks great with those wheels and I'm looking forward to seeing you try to tuck the front wheels under the stock fenders with those dimensions.

^thats a factory exhaust, and yea i think the decal is factory but it wasnt on the fenders cause they were so faded so i dunno?

you should have considered aftermarket tie rod ends, since your gonna lower your car. Something like the bumpsteer kit, lowers the pivot point which compensates for the ride height since it will be upwards like a W.
