I have a strut bar over the engine bay, would the power plant frame make much of a difference? I do take my car to the track occasionally.

A reinforced PPF will better withstand the stresses of launching and wheel hop encountered at the drag strip.

The bushings on the swaybars are made for those specific swaybars; I can't guarantee that any other bushings will work, so I'd strongly suggest you purchase them. If others turn out to work, great...and so you spent an extra few $$. But if no other bushings fit, and I can't get the bushings anymore, you're kinda left high and dry... Seems like a no-brainer situation to me

Everybody get ready plz because I'll have payment info posted up shortly, and I won't be able to wait days and weeks for ppl to pay. Plz have funds ready to pay immediately so we can secure the parts while they're still available.

Thanks,
~Ramy

Link...thanks a lot for that list man...you're always so helpful

Re the Mazdaspeed shortshifters, I've gotten a LOT of requests for them; as far as I know they're discontinued, but I will inquire if any are available, and if ANY are, I'll grab 'em ALL, k?

Hopefully we'll have payment info posted up on this thread tonight, with the aim of closing the GB on Sunday night @ 11:59 PM PST.

Thanks,
~Ramy

I would think so too, but I'm waiting for Ramy to confirm since he's ordered these before.

ok, after doing some homework, i'm gonna have to ditch the swaybars and just go with only getting the PPF.

turns out MAZDASPEED swaybars are made by Eibach. sorry if i burst some bubbles for anyone.

Is the price on MS touring coilovers 1350 shipped like it is on the website or is it 1375 + shipping like you have listed in this thread?

Link, IIRC, yes it's 4 bushings. And why are you surprised if the parts are made by Eibach? Mazdaspeed had Eibach make many of their suspension parts...

Rookie84, plz ignore the website. This is a separate GB, plus the suspension on the website is completely different.

Oh... I'm still interested. Can you explain what is different between the MS touring coilovers and the one on the website? Thanks.

Simple. One on the website's been discontinued for a while, but I can occasionally source them in excellent condition USED.

Why does that Carbon rear view mirror cover say only for 99+ FDs? Were the rear view mirrors different in the 99 spec cars? Will a 99+ RHD rear view mirror work in a LHD car, or will the viewing angle be messed up even though you can tilt it etc?


Its too bad they never made a triangulated Titanium strut bar. I'd have bought one of those.

Sorry but one last question... so are the specs same for the one on the website and MS touring? If not, what are the spring rates and level of adjustment on the MS touring?
