FC Suspension
Okay, MMR-Direct makes toys, AWR makes toys. I have whatever MazdaComp was selling about a decade ago. MazdaComp way back when left me with GC/KONI single-adjustable coilovers, and Eibach (or Suspension Techniques?) swaybars.
I just ordered up the MMR front control arm delrin bushing kit, rear sphericals, subframe spacers, the full drivetrain mount set (even though I had the MazdaComp "stiffer" rubber ones), and the adjustable camber links (even though I have the adjustable dogbone). I'm looking at the AWR rear toe-links. Is there anything else? or should I have been looking at something else? It was time to replace the 1987-vintage rubber bushes... |
Be warned, the toe links are a pain in the ass to install because you have to bore out the tapered holes in the subframe and the trailing arms. Mine have been sitting in a box for like a year because of this.

Good to know. The car is at TC Design & Fabrication, so it sounds like a good time to have them do it where they have all the right tools.

As far as the suspension, you are on the right track. I've posted my setup a few times, it is everything you can possibly get without going one off. The only thing I really lack is going from Delrin front control arm to the AWR needle bearing. Might also take a look at a thread in the suspension/wheels section about the upper hub mount. No one makes a replacement any longer and the stock is rubber. You can have a delrin bushing with sleeve made at your local machine shop. |
I don't trust myself with a hand drill not to mess it up... if the holes aren't perfect the bolt can move around.

Is a strut tower bar worth doing? Or does everybody just tie the strut towers in to the cage?
