What to buy/mod in rear suspension fc

Ok so I have been researching while and keep finding too many conflicting arguments on what works on the rear of the fc. Currently I just have coilovers, no rear sway Single camber barand dtss toe eliminators.

I had originally planned on getting spherical bearings, solid diff and subframe mounts and individual camber links.

Car is really low so without the camber bar naturally the camber is close to 5 i think, Currently sitting at 3 with the bar and its surprisingly even both sides


The single camber bar relies on subframe movement so should really solid mount it?

Was reading about the spherical bearings don't like lateral movement from the camber bar?

At this stage really just seems like I should get the diff mounts and leave it there for now

mine is all sphericals out back, individual camber adjusters, shortened center camber link, dtss, elimn, toe links, and all solid bushings.

camber is ~-0.8º static and the car sits as low as the coilovers will go and the springs are also drooped as well.

Stock diff mounts work great. get dtss elims, toe links, center camber rod and outer camber links. throw away the sway bar and youre set.

I have battle version toe links and center camber link. Secret element dtss elims and factory bushings. Still need to get toe eccentric/rubber bushings and im trying to get some shortened outer camber links. car feels solid as it is.

I carry BattleVersion toe links (100% bolt on) as well as Mazda competition bushings (engine, diff, trans) in case you ever need any of this stuff. You can PM me or check out my website www.j-auto.net. The Mazda competition stuff, as well as other FC parts, are not on the website yet but shoot me a PM or e-mail and I'll take care of you.

If you look close in the picture, he installed the individual camber adjusters. They're really nice, but those ******* break if you look at them wrong. So dont do that.

How short did you make the camber links? I ended up opting for the supernow camber links, the bushings in my stockers are sloppy as ****.

I was just going to drill a new hole and reposition the mouting point for the arm instead of getting individual camber links. Won't be accurate but it will dial out alot of camber which is the main problem and ill just bash the floor up some more

I shortened the OEM one in the center of the subframe.

The individual camber adjusters are MMR.

DTSS bushing is pretty much the 1st thing you should do in the rear end.
