One of the few sets left in the US. They only had 25,000 miles on them.

good deal.

Roddimus Prime April-25th-2005 09:04 AM

why not just buy the 5way adjustale tokico illumina's....they are a newer revised version of those struts...

macdaddyslomo April-25th-2005 09:12 AM

Do the Math...$200, they are a perfect fit for my car, and no need to buy different endlinks. FYI they are not the same as Illumina's...they are a Combo of KYB's and Tokico's, and from what Edwin Man tells me they are stiffer than Illumina's, and normally only available throught Mazdaspeed Motorsports now...Look on Corksport, they are $233 a strut !!! I got them for $200 and they have already been modified to fit a bigger swaybar !!! They only had 25,000 miles on them too !

hooray for you!

good deal I guess.. If they hold up and work well you saved some money. I just dont like buying wear items used though.. I do like that color a lot. I wish they had them on the MSP's.

Well I guess that was a trade and not a purchase, lol !

Roddimus Prime April-25th-2005 10:21 AM

yup, and he ended up buying me brand new struts instead.

glyph_99es April-25th-2005 10:34 AM

i ended up in the same position. I had to cut off one of my endlinks. The nut had basically fused on there.

THEGOLDPRO April-25th-2005 10:38 AM

i was watching them :)

macdaddyslomo April-25th-2005 10:44 AM

Took them on the opening bid !! I can't wait !! I want to go ahead and get an AWR rear swaybar first though

Good buy MacD, my racing co-hort was the seller, and his car was/is one the best set-up P5's in the US of A. And besides, the MSP Green Meanies have the rear adjuster where GOD HIMSELF intended it to be, so you don't have to dismantle the luggage compartment every time you want to go up or down a click. Tokico, are you listening? Hello? McFly?

macD, when you buy an AWR swaybar, I have some stainless steel screws I have been selling to replace the ones that come with the swaybar, as they will rust. Only $5 for a set of 8 shipped. Several people have bought them to replace their rusted ones. Hopefully it can help you. I found a local retailer with these in stock.
