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

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

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.
