  1. Re: Prothane Universal RSB Bushing Bracket 'Style B'? For Progress RSB on Gen 1

    Not available in 22mm like I need, and way too pricey for me. Look nice though.
  2. Prothane Universal RSB Bushing Bracket 'Style B'? For Progress RSB on Gen 1

    I got a set of new bushings/brackets for my Progress rear sway bar for my 2008 gen 1 GT sedan, the Prothane 22mm greasable kit, part# 19-1165, which only comes in their bracket "style A" for that...

    Re: Racing beat + FSD?

    I can't speak for the FSDs, but Koni Yellows on full soft setting might be a good option. I have the RB springs as well, on my 2008 sedan, and am currently running the yellows on full soft. The ride...

    Re: Street Performance

    Another great experience at Street Performance this afternoon. Canny installed new Moog front end links, and flushed brake, power steering, and transmission fluids, with a bit of help from Jimmy as...
  5. Re: Squeak from under rear package trim (aka rear deck), driver's side - 2008 GT seda

    To reiterate, I have definitely isolated the location of the sound to be under the rear package trim. It's not a suspension noise. My feeling is probably something with the seatbelt mechanism up...
  6. Re: Squeak from under rear package trim (aka rear deck), driver's side - 2008 GT seda

    Uh, thanks but I was pretty clear in stating the source of the squeak is from up in behind the top of the rear seat. And only when going over a bump. No mistaking it for the serpentine belt under the...
  7. Squeak from under rear package trim (aka rear deck), driver's side - 2008 GT sedan

    In hour 2 of a 13 hour drive last weekend a squeak started in the driver's side rear of the passenger compartment in my 2008 GT sedan. Initially I thought it was something to do with my luggage but...

    Re: Street Performance

    Called Jimmy this morning about some noises and vibrations from my 2008 GT sedan, he was able to see me at 1pm. Found a worn front driver's side LCA and seized RSB end link. Also, most annoyingly,...

    Re: 2008 Mazda 3 motor mount #3

    Yeah I'm more interested in durability than the performance aspects. Any ideas how far off the cp-e 60 is vs stock for NVH? And is it compatible with an auto trans?
  10. Re: Any other springs for Gen 1 sedan similar to Racing Beat?

    Thanks for clarifying. As per info found on another forum, the RB springs are barely firmer than stock: 151/143 F/R vs 150/130, assuming that info is correct. So that should more than satisfy my...

    Re: 2008 Mazda 3 motor mount #3

    My car was in for service today and I learned my passenger side mount was broken. This is the second one I've gone through, the first was replaced under warranty fortunately. I was hoping the first...
  12. Re: Any other springs for Gen 1 sedan similar to Racing Beat?

    Sorry, I should have pointed out that I was on stock dampers when I was running the Prokits. So I never ran them with the Konis, and maybe I would have liked them more if I had. Wanted to do it in...
  13. Any other springs for Gen 1 sedan similar to Racing Beat?

    I'm shopping around for new springs. Currently on Road Magnets (1.25" version) which are great on smooth roads but I'm getting sick of the rough ride elsewhere. Seems the roads are getting worse and...

    Re: STIFFEST spring for Mz3 application?

    I swapped springs, dampers, and RSB all at once so I can't specifically comment on the springs alone - but yeah, firmer overall, more stable, less roll in corners, etc.

    Re: STIFFEST spring for Mz3 application?

    Rear seems about the same, slightly less drop in the front, which is what I wanted. I found the front to be lower than I liked/expected with the Prokits. I'd actually like the rear to be slightly...

    Re: STIFFEST spring for Mz3 application?

    I switched to the 1.25" drop RMs two months ago from Prokits and love them. They were the stiffest non-coilover springs I could find. Also running Koni yellows @ 50%, very happy with the combo. I...

    Re: 50+ posts to start a thread in Buy/Sell Forum?

    As a few have mentioned, I think it would be nice if the minimum post count were to drop a bit the longer you've been registered. Guess that's what I get for 3+ years of mostly lurking, now that I...

    Tried out the wheel cleaner and tire dressing yesterday, both seem to work quite well. No spray/splatter from the tire dressing!

    Hate when the tire shine sprays onto a freshly washed car. Gonna try Autoglym tire dressing tomorrow and see if it resists spraying any better than the Meguiars stuff I've used the past couple of...
