Nah, this all well predated COVID, and as I say I legit offered to pay dev costs.


And FYI I looked into the Partshop Max stuff but they've made other adjustments to Ackerman and whatnot for drifting that mean it isn't just a straight drop spindle, and I don't believe there's a corresponding rear.

Bottom line, most rx7 vendors suck.

maybe they’re just smarter than you give them credit for, but then that means admitting they’re possibly smarter than you are and we both know that’s never going to happen, right?

I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean exactly, but given the track record of most RX7 vendors historically, and the fact that I was going to cover costs for a one-off but my money wasn't green enough to drive a business to action, I think that speaks for itself.

Most likely explanation is, these aren't Instagram-worthy enough because most people A. don't know what they are or B. what they would do, and C. don't produce any horsepower numbers.

I ordered the Supernow spherical bearing, they sell complete new OEM arms with bearings pre-pressed.

don't get the powerflex, i had them in the S2000, too much stiction...

I heard Superpro is slightly better, due to their material choice, and double helix cut inside the bushing.

I ditched the SuperPro and went back to stock a long time ago.

Did you keep SuperPro's anywhere? I was planning on doing just my diff bushings and the steering rack.
