Tokico Illumina BZ's in Rx2 housing

Got these to fit today. THe BZ's Mazdatrix offers for the ITA/Camber plate will fit in the Rx2 housings will a little modification.

I used a piece of stainless tubing the same diameter as the bottom of the shock, machined a piece 1.8" tall. Then simply dropped in the cartridge and tightened up the top...tah dah! Instant killer front 5-WAY ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS!

YOU WILL NEED to either redrill the top to use the Rx7 camber plate (4-bolts) OR machine a small spacer around the top of the strut so it won't move around (the BZ top is narrower) I did my K-Mac camber plates with the top spacer and it works fine. I'll let you guyz know how it feels when I get the car back on the road.

I would have to guess the standard Illumina BZ's would fit the stock strut tops without the mod...I just happen to have some ITA BZ's. (Stiffer)
