urethane bushing kits

ok i finally found a company that would be willing to make bushing kits for the first gen. before i get a price scale i need to find out who all is interested in a urethane kit for their car. if i get enough interest then i will setup the groupbuy. i'm going to try to get motor mounts, trans mounts, front and rear control arm bushings, rear stabalizer bushings, sway bar end links, sway bar insulators, and strut mounts. everyone that is interested please let me know.

i can have every single bushing or mounts on the car made in urethane from a company called prothane. but i need more interest before i will have them research this to get the price scale.

Well, i'm not sure if they are infact urethane, but they are 30% stiffer than stock.

Mazdaspeed Motorsports, but then again, you have to be a member and have to be a racer to be a member....so hopefully your able to get enough interest here.

Im interested in rear control arm bushings and the strut mounts.....

Got a question for anybody out there who has an answer....

I dissasembled my 91' LX and completely stripped it then cut it in half and sent it on its way to the j-yard..... It had seen its last days....(major accident)
after i removed the the front and rear "k-member"/or main supports... for the car... i noticed that the rear had bushings all over the place but it was to greasy to take a look at them.... I brought them to my local car wash and cleaned everything up...
Brought them home only to look at the rear and see that the bushings in the rear had the emblem of energy suspension...... The company that makes the escort/zx2 kit that also works for our car... Does anybody know if these bushings in the rear come stock as poly urethane????? It appear that this was the case but im looking for opinions....It could be that they are just regular rubber bushings.......Does any body know??????

IIRC, thier policy is to have printed race results that show your name, year, make and model of the Mazda in question. Trackdays are not competition, so therefore would not count.
