Yeah, should be 4 bolts per seat. I had mine out two months ago. Just be careful popping the plastic covers off, and make sure you torque the bolts back in when you put them back. I think 40lbft works, but you can find the service manual to verify.

I never tried the front but it should fit. If you put on a stiffer front bar without touching the rear though, it will actually understeer more than factory. Easy way to check is cross reference front sway bar part numbers on a dealer parts web site between the 3 and 5. If there are parts...

I have the OEM Thule rack if you're interested...

You're welcome. If you want coilovers, my BC Racing coilovers are available...

You're supposed to measure the tire pressure when the tire is cold. If you've driven the car, you'll want to wait overnight, or at least wait a few hours. Factory pressure for the 06-10 is 37psi cold. 1-2 psi variation isn't going to make a huge difference in ride quality. I measure treadwear...

They'll physically fit but the 5 is a lot heavier- so you really want shocks that are made for the MazdaSPEED 3, or the 5. Those are higher load shocks. Most shock manufacturers don't bother making separate versions for that chassis- they just throw one part number at the whole platform- but...

Ok, I'll think on it and hit you up later. Lemme see if my AC fix works- if it does then I might grab them. If not, it's not worth it.

I replace the stereo system on every car from the battery cable all the way back into the speakers. My 5 had some aftermarket Kenwoods in them that were ok... but I swapped them out for JBL GTO 6x8 components in the front (separate mid and tweeter) plus matching 6x8 coaxials in the back. That...

Whoa 11 year zombie resurrection... this event still happens?

Fusion 2.5? I think 200whp is totally doable with the 2.3L blocks all motor if built properly. No problem holding off- if I'm lucky the AC will work in two weeks and I can list locally for a lot more. :) Let me know if you change your mind though!

Understood- I definitely don't need the lot, and I only need one, if that- so we'll see. :)

Check all your yellow plugs?

Control arms?

Yeah, BCs and brakes are off. Brakes have moved on to another friend's 5, BCs are sitting in the garage.

Yeah, can definitely do that. I'm still going to take one more stab at getting the AC to work though, so there's still a chance to list it locally. Zip code is 76021. Sorry for the late response- been pretty busy this week!

Hmm. Going back and reading, it looks like you went with a much less aggressive alignment than I did, and less tire too. MS3 front sway bar will help to calm the front end a little bit, but won't allow the car to be as neutral vs leaving the front sway stock. More rear bar = less understeer...

Is that the right bearing? Clutch won't engage at all now... it was intermittent a few weeks ago, like cycling at machine gun speed- 5-6 clicks a second when it would try to engage- but then starting to blow cold when the clutch does lock on. I thought it might be the relay since it was...

:( Mine needs to go to pay for parts to go into the BRZ and Soul!

Hey folks, I'll post a proper sale thread once it's vacuumed and washed, but I thought I'd give a little notice beforehand. This is the car that was seen here: That huge suspension install thread I did years ago ^^ ultra healthy. 153hp crank rating from the factory should show about...
