nice stuff... deffinatly interested in the front sway bar install... have the progress rear now and thinking of upgrading to the racing beat set (new front endlinks as well as bigger rear and a front bar). after hearing tphskab say he tried and couldn't do his, and i looked at mine when i did my header, it looked like a real pain. pics and tips would be great.

 

[VRMS6]

Will definately take pics of the install...will post when thats done....

 

[JOS3]

how much did the camber links cost you?

 

[illusis]

EXCELENT! i really wanted to add these parts to my car but worried of what the lowering effect will look like and if its to much for the roads where i live. good thing you are doing it first. so depending on your write up ill work on mine. hope everything works out well for you congrats on the part your car is comming along great, looks amazing. keep up the good work!

JOS3 the camber links were part of the kit with the springs and new bumpstops from mazdaspeed......

illusis thanks for the kind words. I will try to get as many pics as possable. The install will be done by one of my techs(I run a Porsche service lane) who was a Mazda shop forman at a Mazda dealer for 10yrs....

 

[VRMS6]

MazdaSpeed Sway bars finally here... Install probably next weekend...will post pics of the install when done....

Ohhhh....red.....

Bushings/mounting hardware....

 

[tsunami]

those look similiar to the racing beat ones.... mmm wonder if mazda had them make them made by rb??

 

[illusis]

how much was all of this if you dont mind me asking and where did you get it?

 

[VRMS6]

I work at a Porsche dealer as a service advisor so I know alot of people in the dealership level. Theres a Mazda dealer down the street and I get everything thru them at dealer cost... All said n done I probably spent $1500 in parts that you see here.... Thats Struts,Shocks,Springs,Camber Links and F/R Swaybars all MazdaSpeed....

 

[illusis]

not to shabby

I am definately interested in the suspension, can't wait to hear the reviews. I just picked up my Whitewater pearl touring a couple of hours ago. The car rides pretty hard as it is and I don't want to sacrifice too much of the comfort.

Seeing this thread really makes me want to try my front install again. I know I can get it, I just keep trying when I am kind of in a lazy mood so I give up easy

just because they're red, doesn't mean they're made by racing beat... and just because the MSP sway bars are also red and have the "racing beat" sticker on the rear sway bar, doesn't mean it was made by racing beat

 

[VRMS6]

Install completed yesterday and let me say its not a simple project. Using air tools and lift it took my tech 6 hours to complete...still have to upload the pics but those will be up soon...The car looks hella nice with a good stance and it really carves the curves now....

 

[bdd]

Curve carving is a good thing!! (ughdance)

how does the front handle now? really curious if the front sway is worth the effort cause it sounds like a major pita!!!

 

[tsunami]

also you should look into new front endlinks cause the size of the swaybar is the same as the racing beat and their site recommends new endlinks due to the heavier sway can cause damage to the stockers... not sure if the mazdaspeed set up came with any but i don't remember you saying anything about em?

 

[VRMS6]

I love the way it responds now. Havent had a chance to get out n really push it though....
Who makes endlinks for the MZ3?? I am still using the stock ones as MS doesnt make any for the MZ3...The stock ones are hella long....
