Housings are powdercoated and they look good. Car will be assembled again later this week and aligned and driving on Sunday,

I forgot to mention this when I saw the pictures on facebook last night, but have you checked the fitment of corner which points to the inside of the car when installed? I mention it because I was recently checking the fit of the stock top hats in my car and the metal on the inside stud can...

I haven't driven the car in over 2 weeks so I don't really know. I have been driving the Miata or the tahoe. Had an autocross in the Miata in the rain yesterday. Fun was had.

Here is a picture of the extra tabs welded into it. I was going to put the bottom ones facing outwards, but there really isn't any thickness there because the diameter of the tube is almost the same as the width of the mounts.

Car is back on the ground for a bit. I wanted to check to make sure I could get the camber I want out of it. I really was concerned about that. I made the plates so I should be ok, but you never know. so to night I checked. With the bilsteins I had -2.5 degrees of camber. With the new...

Those plates are on there now, I did it right after I took the picture above because I forgot I was going to do that. Also I have way more weld than other shocks. Plus the mounting plates are about 1.25" longer overall compared to other coilovers. As an example the bilstein setup has about...

Other housing is now welded. Not sure when I will be driving the car though because it is supposed to be raining every day until monday. I was hoping to get it all ready for the autocross, but if it is going to be raining I am going to take the Miata. You know, rain+200WHP+185 tires=Driftooooo

No front sway bar. That tab is for the brake line. I will get measurements when I can. Probably thursday maybe sooner. Zach

Well I am getting over my cold and progress was made tonight. One housing done. Here it is all assembled. Not I just need to start checking the fitment to make sure everything is ok. I have one area of concern, but there is an easy fix so I am not that worried. I also looked at the...

Going through college I had a bunch of tools in a tool bag and it was getting annoying trying to find everything. Once I graduated getting that craftsman box was one of the first things I did. I have most of the tools already, but having a nice box to put everything where it is organized and...

I did think about a light blue kinda color. That was 2nd choice. Well I have been sick for about 3 days now and it really stinks. I am still going to try to get the shocks done as soon as I can. I was able to weld up most of one of the housings though. First time really doing some MIG...

If I did yellow I would want to match the yellow from the koni's and I probably wouldn't be able to. I do have yellows in the rear though so that color is accounted for.

Very Nice!!

Off, as soon as the inside rear tire lifts off the ground the stability control goes crazy.

OK so there is a slight push to get the suspension done quick. The current plan is to get it all finished so I can drive the car up to DDMWorks on Saturday where I will powder coat them and do the alignment. Hopefully I will be able to have the time to get them finished that quick. I think I...

ok so I have some picture for you all now. Here are the wheels with the tires. Here is where I have been working on the 2 at the house. Here is a special shot of the hole family of cars in one picture. All 5 of them. And lastly the top view of the koni's mounted.

That is the fiesta Kit not the Mazda one. The Mazda one keeps the normal location of the spring. Welcome to another Mazda 2. I am originally from near Philly.

400lbs/in springs and koni yellows from a focus. I think I had the rear valving a little stiffer than really needed in the rear just to make up for the lack of dampening on the front bilstiens when I raised the spring rate. Thats why I am really looking forward to what the fronts will ride like...

ok, so just to update everyone the 2 is in the garage for some work. Firstly I got a new set of tires for my old 15X7 team dynamics wheels which will now be going on the 2. I got 205/50/15 Dunlop Direzza DZ102. I had them on the car for about 2 weeks already and I have been really impressed...
