Last Minute and *FINAL* Mazdaspeed Parts GB!
#51
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.
Please let me know if you have any GENERAL questions ONLY, as there is *no way* I can be asking for further information on each and every part. So if you have questions about specific parts, I'd strongly suggest you utilize the information available on the forum, as I don't have any further info than that, and Mazdaspeed won't exactly be thrilled to spend hours on inquiries relating to a discontinued product line.

Payment sent for a MS PPF. Thank you guys for doing this GB!! =D
Ramy, honestly i haven't done too much research on who OEM stuff for MS. I really thought they R&D all their stuff... lol... all these years. It sorta burst my bubbles.. thinking that MS strut bar would be better developed than RB and ST. oh well. i guess i'm stoping by eibach locally to pick up a set soon.

Thanks guys. I was in Japan today, passing through thinking I need to haul this **** back. Oh Well.
Got the Blade just in case! Don't even have the '99 Wing yet.

Our pleasure
Well Link, that's where I think you're wrong. You're assuming it's a rebadged part; I think that's an incorrect assumption on your part. And even if it was, it would NOT be available through Eibach. When a company contracts another to make a part for it, they own EXCLUSIVE rights to that part. So if Eibach sells FD-specific coilovers or swaybars, I can *guarantee* you that those are NOT the same parts (or based on the same specs) Mazdaspeed used for their parts. It wouldn't make ANY sense for me to come to you, pay you thousands of dollars to make a part for me, me to mark it up, and sell it for several times the cost you'd sell it for - and make it publicly known that you made it for me.
Another example is GReddy/Trust and RE-Amemiya. All the parts GReddy makes for RE-Amemiya (and are thus badged as RE-Amemiya parts) are NOT available through GReddy. So for you to go buy a Greddy SMIC and say it's the same as an RE-Amemiya unit, etc, that would be very far from accurate.
And obviously, given the amount of extensive testing Mazdaspeed puts its parts through, I'm pretty certain the parts available directly through Eibach would not be as nice performance or quality wise.
So yea, I'm pretty sure you're amiss on this one big man
Pretty sure I can. Now that you mention it, I remember who it was that bought one from me. I'll ask him if he had any probs w/ it after the install and let you know.
Thanks,
~Ramy

Ramy, what your saying totally makes sense. I found the thread i missed about "the sway bar story". MS sway bars looks like great and awsome piece of work. but due to other budgeting issues at the moment, i regretably have to pass on the MS sway bars. It was hard choice between the PPF and the bars, but to pick one, the PPF seems like something even harder to come by.
Although i have to disagree about RE-A and Greddy products. some stuff from greddy are the same as what they make for RE-Amemiya just different color, such as intake, pully, AND...especially the SMIC. only the end tanks are different but the SMIC core is identical.

BlueRex the money adds up though i just forgot to list it on the message box when i sent payment...if you notice on pictures of stuff available, there is no rear strut bar price just the front sway bar. i had asked Ramy before leaving payment if there were rear strut bars and he said they werent available on this Group Buy. so i added everything else up .... could you please verify (and i will do the same) if i owe you more funds thanks
