lol

it's such a proven fact that FC owners are cheap.
FD's are too expensive, and FB's are too old. So we all go for FC's.

hahahahaha

I'd own all three if I had the money.

but yeah, seriously.... 40 bucks? If you're that broke, seriously, sell the seven and get a civic - those cars are perfect for penny pinchers.

the way I see it, you've gotta pay for fun. If you don't want to cop the cash, you don't deserve to have the car.

But thanks for the link, because they sell the "complete bushings kit" that mazdatrix sells for 250 bucks for just 195.

Yep, if you look closely mazdatrix even used the same picture from mmr-direct.

DTSS does not snap even when worn. It is a very progressive change, and if anything would increase the traction in a corner, rather than give suddenly.

This is very true. Rear LCA bushings and bent lateral links both cause severe toe issues. I found that after driving a 240sx on the track and a miata, I was kinda like WHOA what the hell was that the first time I felt DTSS in action.

While some drivers have adapted to it and are able to use it to their advantage, I copped out and deleted it to drive to the best of my ability without a dynamically changing toe situation. I will statically dial in toe/camber if I feel it can increase my quickness in a corner.
