I have the Fighter's Garage set. My only complaint is that with the new dust boots, they don't fit in the slots, and the trailing arms aren't notched, so tightening them is a huge pain in the ***. (and making sure they stay tight) Other than that, they are good quality. I wish I had the JIC's or Cusco's I had on my other cars.

I got the FG's set as well, mine fit perfectly WITH the dust seals...

Also my car developed a rear end clunk lately, might have something loose or just that i've been driving on very rough streets lately. i haven't checked.

I got 2 stiffer trailing-arm bushings (Bushing PN: F128-28-52Y) for the stock trailing arms from Corksport. These are MazdaSpeed bushings from Japan, IIRC. They did take about 3-4 months to get, though, and I read somewhere that they may not be available any more. But, just in case they are, I wanted to post this. They got rid of the wheel hop problems I was having with the stock bushings, and the solid bushing trailing arms I made were too harsh.

I also have the Fighter's Garage sets and my only complaints are the same as above. They didn't quite fit with the dust covers. But they fit now after a few seconds of work on em...

I have the Rotary Performance set and can tell you the quality, fit and finish are second to none.

I should clarify that I got the FG set to fit with the dust seals, but I had to make them fit. My point was, not nearly as good of quality as the Cusco's or JICs I have had on other cars, and for nearly the same price.

The OEM toe links will outlast all of the others, and will do the EXACT same thing as the aftermarket links. They will fit right, and the dust boots will fit right with ZERO adjustments. I can think of no reason to install aftermarket toe links.

Your wrong ole cheap one, especially if your road racing or drag racing. They keep your tires from toeing in or out much better than stock. Spend some money and you'll find out.
