finally dropped the mx

Post by mx-3xplosiv31 »

I finally got around to putting my coilovers on my mx. 650 lb/in in the front, and 450 lb/in in the back. Stiff as hell, but I am setting the car up to run road courses, but still be semi-driveable. next are my custom anti-roll bars, 25mm in the front and 28mm in the rear. solid end links with poly bushings, 4 underbody braces welded in, Mazdaspeed rear suspension kit, Cusco upper camber plates, Koni red struts, front and rear triangulated strut tower braces, and a six point weld in cage. Wish me luck. :)

I dont think the Koni`s will enjoy 650/450 springrates....

Koni reds won't handle those spring rates. Not even close. you should be looking at Koni 8610s or similar...

You dont want or need that much springrate in general. The ITA roadracers ran 500/500. 650/450 with huge swaybars is going to be a nightmare on the street.

Why are you running those swaybars with that much springrate?
