                If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                  the way the gtx rear suspension is different from the miata is i dont have a upper control arm, so I didnt have to notch the frame at all.

                  • Yep I know that now, didn't before but I already had the parts.

                    I'm not a big fan of the TTL and trailing arm setup, always been a fan of double wishbone.

                    To each their own though. Looking good!

                    • Hope to get the struts today ...also need to figure out how to get it back to aspire bolt pattern. Instead of Festiva

                      • that's easy, press out the capri center section and press in the hub from a set of front aspire knuckles.

                        then use EGT rear rotors.

                        A guy that did an awd swapped BG tracer went that route.

                            • I have to get some coilovers for my setup, I'm trying to decide if I want to go with racelands or just get the civic cheapy ones and QA1's. i will not be slamming this thing to the ground so I doubt I'll need helper springs... What coilover system do you plan on using?
