I just checked onlinemazdaparts.com and MSP suspension components are nowhere to be found. I guess I'll have to order the Tokico struts and springs kit. If anybody know webstores with good deals, please chime in. Best price I found so far was about $508 shipping not included.

Ok, last questions: Will height of the car remain the same? Will it still handle the same (or better)?

So.... what would be your recommendations? What's a cheap but good struts + springs combo. I'm not sure if I'll keep the MSP for another 2 years so I don't want to invest much in it as of now.

What do you mean different? Anything that could make the installation difficult or the part incompatible? I just don't see the point of paying $350 a piece at the dealer when you can get them from a web store for $85 a piece!

I was thinking of changing both rears anyways (driver rear is trashed)

They're Tokico HP? Is there a difference between the ones on the MSP and the ones they sell? Like these:http://www.gripmotorsports.com/pi~pn~tokico_hp_shocks_blue-7722.html One of mine is trashed (leaked) and I need to replace it.

Thanks Jay, like I said in the PM I'll let you know once I get them checked out to confirm they are done for.

Ok it turns out that my rear shocks are done for. What is the stock replacement parts? OEM parts are $354 cnd each my dealer says.

Thanks, but I don't need it. The car is at the dealer right now. But it's still gonna cost me $550 cnd to fix this! And there's no guarantee it won't happen again.

(Mods, please edit the title to remove the underscores) For some reason, the main fuse (100A) didn't blow. The fusebox socket actualy disintegrated/carbonized UNDER the fuse causing it to cut the current to the entire car. Here is what happened: I was driving normally when the radio stopped...

Girlfriend crisis yesterday... pics will be up tonight

Please note that this isn't normal msp klunk... this is worse, a lot worse. I couldn't take pictures yesterday but I will for sure tonight.

I'm not using any washers. I simply followed the instructions for the install. I also relocated the rubber ring that held the stock bushings in place. That ring is now "sandwitched" between the newly relocated bushing and the collar clamp. I will try to take pictures tonight.

Before and after installing Evolv's klunk fix kit. It actualy got worse after the install. I followed the instruction rigorously and greased the bushings like crazy but it still klunks like hell. It actualy made things worse than before. After some searching I found that it could either be the...
