I'm gathering some part that I'm going to install in the near future ( shocks, springs, brake rotors, sways) and I was wondering what else i should do at the same time? I have about 90k miles

 

What do you use your car for?

 

get some super angle tie rods while you're at it.

 

its just a street car. im fixing it up to be a car i can drive sometimes for fun.

 

replace pillow *****. With 90k they should go soon

 

Well, I would start with the following:

1. Pillow ball bushing
2. Upgraded front sway bar mounts
3. New shocks
4. New springs if you want them

My suggestions for above:

1. OEM
2. http://www.mazdatrix.com/h93-95b.htm .... if you ever plan to do some track track days, look up the Widefoot mounts.
3. Tokico HTS (new from Tokico) http://autosportstyle.com/shop/mazda...s-p-51564.html
4. H&R http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/hrsprings.htm

For the street, there is no need for an aftermarket sway bar.

 

thanks mr. links. im going to throw those pillow ***** on to an order i have with ray.

 

Mahjik -

Why the HTS's over the Koni Yellows?

I think I agree on the H&R Springs over Eibachs or the like.

 

The Koni's are great if you are getting into performance driving. Mainly because they can be widely service and re-valved for different/stronger springs. However, it doesn't seem that he's going to get that heavily involved into performance driving. With that, the Koni's can be a little rough so IMO, Tokico's are better for a mostly street driven car. The new Tokico's, from their description, seem to be outstanding. I may order some later this year and see if Howard can put them on his shock dyno. This new Tokico's could possibly rival the Koni's in the performance department as well.

 

I am in the same boat as you im at 65k though. I am going with tein flex, trailing arms and toe links also need new rubber badly! You don't want to get the trailing arms or toe links?

 

When you do the shocks, get new upper shock mounts and spring pads. They make a nice difference.

 

are new trailing arms or toe links necessary/recommended?

just oem replacements right?

 

Right. Ray at Malloy Mazda can get you both. I believe it was $66.00 shipped for the spring seats and and $238.00 shipped for the upper spring mounts.

 

now i have more stuff to tack on to that order

 

Only if yours are bad. I wouldn't worry about those just yet.
