I bought myself a birthday present.....and it arrived today: 250 lb/in for the front, 275 for the rear. I hope to install these on my stock shocks/struts next week. and hopefully can afford AGXs within a month or 2.
it happens. got a wideband a few months ago. Not to mention the Rota Torques :yumyum: Kalie, you have badass wagon parts. you just need to install them.
I know...:hsugh: I just need a very nice person to help me put it all together since I am an uber car n00b and last time i tried to do something myself i broke 2 spring pins...heh
why is my phone not ringing? I'm pretty busy this week, but can usually scare up some time for wrenching. especially to make a soob t3h f4st4rz. currently running GC impreza front struts and NB ('99-'05) Miata rear shocks. so I called ground-control and ordered coilover sleeves to match.
^well, we need to get the rear diff in and see how the tranny wants to hold up b4 we attempt the turbo.... but if you can spare the time, max and I would greatly appreciate it!
installed the rear springs today: sits pretty high, and as it turns out, I'm running on the bump stops a bit......so I need to get my hands on some shocks from the Rear of an NB miata, as they're about 3" shorter.
can you cut off that lower perch and mount the sleeve down lower on the shock body? that would allow you to lower the rear more. i thought that is what needed to be done on struts.
^I probably could.....but wouldn't solve the bump-stop issue. I'm already riding pretty much at full compression as-is. need to switch to the shorter shocks.
looks good. I bet 250/275 is alot better than 800 lol. make sure you get an alignment once everything in settled. remember how my one tire was after we did the coils in my car and i didnt get an alignment?
meh....sticking with the tape measure and a level alignment until I get the AGXs in. more new parts came. paid for them a few months ago.....but being low-production parts from SuperPro in Aussie-land.....they took awhile. partial poly bushing set. some more research will be required to find stuff for the rest of the suspension, but this will take care of the leading rods (caster....) and front sway bar. also, front springs are installed. rear shocks ordered (just some stock takeoffs from ebay to make sure things fit before I drop $$$ on AGXs).
^who knows when....but you will. once I get a few more things to where I like them, I'd very much like to hear what you think.
