[firefox_mp]

i dunne guys. . .we finally got an alignment on my friends 3 that we dropped a while back. . . . .only thing needed to set was toe


rear camber wasn't that nasty. . .-2.4 on the right side (spec is -.03,-2.3)
the left side was -2.9

this was after a couple months of the springs settling

camber kit will indeed help his situation but not worth the 250 they cost

oh yea

mazda 3s hatch stock struts and tein s-tech drop

Just dropped mine last weekend, and so far, all ive done is alignment, and its fine. dont see any real need to put the camber kit on.

there shouldnt be any issues with the front. From what I hear (from goldwing, which is very reliable info) the front has a completely different setup so the front is not affected by a drop

 

[traitorhound]

the front is def affected but. ..can still be adjusted back into specifications. usually toe because toed out when you drop it ..and all it needs is to adjust it back in`

 

[goldwing2000]

Front camber is what's not affected (and is not adjustable, anyway). Front and rear toe are both affected and can both be adjusted.

Hi, I am new to the forum but i actually have a brand new MAZDA 3 camber kit that i would like to sell right now. if anyone is interested let me know, it is also up on eBay, here is the link

Well, this is interesting.

I just spoke with Eibach and they confirmed that they will not me marketing the rear camber kit for the Mazda3, even though the part number is now cross-referenced to the Mazda5, Focus, Celica and Scion tC.

HOWEVER...

I just went to the web site for the company who manufactures Eibach's kits and found this:
http://www.specprod.com/PROD_DIR/C_PROD_passcar_SEARCH_DYN.cfm?cmd=Cam&cmd2=67420&cmd3=

Just got off the phone with THEM and they're projecting mid-April for availability but they only sell to "professionals", so you'll have to find a local distributor.

 

[sok07]

They're manufactured by SPC and sold as Eibachs. Tire Rack now stocks them and sells them @ $132 before shipping.

I ordered my set about 3-4 weeks ago and installed them.

So the Eibach guy was full of s***. Why doesn't that surprise me?

edit: it's cheaper here: http://www.drivewire.com/PerformanceParts/eibach/mazda3alignmentkit.html

mazda3zoom is a dealer of idontknowwhat but i bet he would be considered a professional and could probably get it at good price.

 

[goldwing2000]

He's a Rhino Lining dealer.

I called my local places and the Drivewire price is even lower than distributor price. Hell, the Tire Rack price is lower than distributor price.

 

[ZoomVT]

fair enough. i still think is a rip off though.

 

[goldwing2000]

$116 is a rip-off? That's half the price of the Mazdaspeed parts and those aren't adjustable.

yeah im a rhino dealer, but we also carry all accessories and stuff. We do get eibach and a bunch of other brands. Would i have to get an AV status to sell stuff on this site, even if its just something here and there to help someone out?

Just put in that part # on our suppliers website and it shows up as on order, and costs $113. We can usually get better prices too.
