Before it settles, you will be looking like a 4x4!!! I still love the suspension though. The handling is unreal.

Padanky,
I wonder if you will develop the infamous swaybar clunk that plagues the MP3 owners and now the MSP owners with the swaybar. There have been 3 "revisions" of bushings that haven't done ****, and Mazda still has no fix in almost two years. Good luck

Thanks man,

I don't think she needs them....the only Pro's w/ the shorter endlinks are the 99s and early 2000 models. They changed the swaybar design after that and the endlinks were longer.

Yes, I got endlinks.
Mazda is good about giving you everything, they even give you new exhaust gaskets.

Sorry to jack the thread

However, I just wanted to add input
I just installed Racing beat springs from a MP3

There is a noticable difference
1. There is virtually no more body roll(I don't have any suspension mods other than the springs)
2. There is a noticable lowering of the car for the daily driver...like my self. My mother who warned that If i put springs on will be real upset.....didn't even notice the difference.....1" lowering only

overall..............I LOVE IT..............

The springs that Mazda used for the MP3, is only about .5" lowering springs.


The ones you get from Racing Beat are 1" lowering springs.

hmmm....well, they are red in color, and it is definetly lowered by one inch. However, he took them out from his MP3. Unless, he changed the original and but the racing beat and then sold them, I dunno, but I love them!
