ok sitting with mazda

i dont have my lift blocks yet - didn't know how much i need i think 1" will level it

Post by **bubs** » Sat Feb 15, 2003 12:27 pm

ok drop shock connected

Post by **bubs** » Sat Feb 15, 2003 12:28 pm

shock disconnected - 20mm extra drop

this is only mocked up - we all know they do a completely different thing out in the bush where it counts

Post by **bubs** » Sat Feb 15, 2003 12:44 pm

springs clamps open - extra 25 - 30 mm drop :shock:

8)

pity i dont have the shit for my mounts :cry:

ok i am going to go and do the other side

Post by **bubs** » Sat Feb 15, 2003 1:35 pm

other side is in - ok maybe 40mm lift block

it sits exactly how it did b4

Post by **bubs** » Sat Feb 15, 2003 1:37 pm

Alright, i pulled these springs out last weekend

After all this time with no wrap bar and 2" lift blocks, the passenger side rear spring is still like the day it went in, the drivers side had a little wrap action

I must say i was pleased with this setup and would recommend mazda's, with lift blocks (you will need them), with angled in shock mounts to anyone who wants semi decent performance and does not want to deal with custom spring mounts and altering the wheel base

:cool:

Do the mazdas match up eye to eye or is that the Toyo spring.
Have read about yanks using mazda 2wd springs for more flex.
