new suspension on its way

[urbanbiker]

hey guys,

Found my setup finally. I purchased Tokico Illuminas off the xshocks.com guy on ebay. They cost me $545 canadian shipped for the set of 4. I am going to be running sprint springs with the 2" drop, progressive rate for $200 can. All new upper mounts and boot kits will be installed as well as the proper front end-links if needed. If you guys can recommend anything else that would be benificial please ket me know

Thanks

I'm looking into the illuminas, but have a question....If you have a P5, why do you need to "upgrade" to the P5 rear mounts????? Just wondering...

congtats, with purchase, come here bcmazda.com
hook me up with springs? what are they?
Don't you have to pay custom thing?

I have the K-Sports.

I would suggest a rear sway bar as well. I am ordering an AWR one, along with G-Spec Lateral Arms.

Hopefully you like your setup.

hey,

ok tokico illuminas are here, sprint springs are here... now to sort out the mounts and such. I called mazda today to get a price on everything needed to build a set of struts outside the car and he said it would be hella expensive. What is the diff between the MSP mount and the P5 mount... and is it really worth it. I think I might dissasemble my stock struts and reuse everything there but replace the busings. The guy at mazda said I shouldn't have to replace anything else cause they don't really wear
