They had the ma822 shocks in stock so im going to get one on tonight.just to c what cornering diffeerences are and then put other on tomorrow as i have to cut the beam open.one lower strut bolt just spins.gots to hold the nutComment

don't cut the beam open, just cut away the strut mount untill there's just the bolt left then cut that in half and pumch the pieces out. a small open ended wrench can easily hold a new nut for re-assembly.Trees aren't kind to me...
currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),

If the MA-822 can be made to fit, we might also have the ability to use these for an aero mod for increased MPG via lowering the vehicle.Last edited by Pu241; 08-28-2013, 08:14 PM.'93 Blue 5spd 230K(down for clutch and overall maintanence)

Yeah. Alot of upgrades and benefits out of a simple swap. Can't believe I never thought of this before. They are on eBay right now less than 80 shipped. Plus they would be bad with a remote valve hidden away

Ride quality is good and smooth.but the air lines need to be separated from each other.Comment

Might have to do the make your own koni yellows trick we have to do on srt4. You take a stock strut cut it apart and use the housing to hold the koni. Would that work, turning a shock into a strut being so small?1993 GL 5 speed
It's a MazdaFordnKia thing, and you will understand!Comment

Im confused as in y would i make my own shock. The only reason to run air lines seperate is to keep air from transfering from one shock to the other in corners.Comment
