I spent another grand on the AutoX festy today..

Full set of Ground Control coilovers, with Eibach springs.

High Durometer Engine/Trans mounts plus stock upper mount

High Durometer swaybar bushings

High Durometer Strut Mounts

Mazda 323 struts (KYB GR2)

KYB AGX Rear shocks (Mitsu Mirage)



Pics and write up as it gets installed.....

are these adjustable? Mazda 323 struts (KYB GR2) where did you find all the high druometer mounts from?

Just the AGX are adjustable, and I haven't been able to find a front strut application in AGX yet.. so, I am just going with the GR2's for the heavier 323 right now..

My Springs are going to be STIFF... (stiffer than recommended, even for track only use...lol, but I don't care, I want it go-kart like)


The High Durometer mounts are from FestivaMotorsport.com

I love it! We buy cheap cars and throw BIG money into them! I am glad I am not the only one!

[skeeters_keeper]

Awsome!! Can't wait to see them installed!!
i bought a set of coil-overs for $25.01 yesterday!

not quite grand-controls w/ eibach's, but at least their billet alum w/ alum top hats. I'll probobly trash the springs and get some QA1's in softer "street" rates, but we'll see after they get here.


If you decide you want to blow another grand on your autoX festy i will re-build an aspire 5spd w/ a phantom grip LSD for about that price

Shipped to Ohio? That is coming too... along with a competition cam from FMS, and a rebuilt head, shaved and ported..... ugh... sounds like another $1500-2000 left to go...

Glad to hear it's not only me. I musta spent $4g's easy so far. Worth every penny.

[freshtiva]

$3500 ( including $800 purchase price ) as it sits. And its all stock. :roll:
