    __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________

    I've been dealing with a few US Distributors for Whiteline about getting some suspension bushing kits shipped to the US from Australia where the kits for the BF chassis are still readily available.

    Here is Whiteline's Australian website listing the kits for the BF Chassis:



    I've only been working with the control arm bushing kits listed at the bottom. The pricing right now is tentative, but I don't suspect it will change significantly.

    Front LCA front bushing kit---W51280 $36.99


    Front LCA rear bushing kit---W51141 $39.99


    Rear Control Arm kit---W61757 - $130.99


    I am working with two different distributors to get the best pricing and the above prices are just estimates right now. I'm expecting prices to be $3-$5 less than this per kit, but wanted to give everyone a reasonable expectation. Please remember that there will be a shipping charge added on to get these kits from the distributor to your doorstep.

    Update:

    Ok guys...just finalizing a few details. I want to end the group buy this weekend. No one will be able to get in after that time. I want to have the deadline for paying be 2 weeks from now on Friday, Oct. 14th. If anyone thinks they might have trouble paying by then let me know, but I really don't want to delay the order any further. At the end of this week I will send everyone the US distributor's information so you guys can handle your own payments to them. This will also make it easier for the distributor to ship the kits directly to you when they arrive.


    Group Buy ends October 8th

    Please add to the list if you are interested in this as a group buy and which kits you would like. I'll post any updates as soon as I get them so everyone will be on the same page in regards to the timeline.

    XelderX-Justin B.-W51280,W51141,W61757
    Iantboyd - W51280,W51141,W61757

        Did you see the Polyurethane suspension bushings for BF? thread? Supposedly all BF bushings are already available through Pedders & Whiteline (combined).

          How are you planning to remove the OEM rubber bushings, which have no metal sleeve, they are just inserted with a press?
          Bushings for the Lateral Links & Trailing Arms used to be available through MazdaComp, but you needed to buy the entire lateral link & trailing arm, because the OEM bushings aren't remoable. And even the OEM ones are pretty hard. The only way to get them out is with a pneumatic chisel or fire: burning them up. I've had these on my car for some time, and they are quite a bit stiffer. Or at least were. They soften/degrade so slowly I can't even compare now.

            I don't have access to post in that section. I will probably have a moderator move it once I get all the details nailed down.

            I have seen that thread. No one has been able to post the particular part #s that someone would need to order. You would have to piece together a set as neither company has listings for the BF 323 in their American catalogs. Ordering the exact kits through Whiteline Australia is much easier if you don't mind waiting a little longer for the shipping.

            I have access to a shop press and that is my preferred method. I've also burned old bushings out, but I only do that if I need to reuse the metal sleeve. Mazdaspeed Motorsports still has the bushings listed, but I don't know if they are still available. They are more expensive than the Whiteline kits and you have to be a member of their contingency program with your BF 323 registered. I'm a member, but I'm registered with my BG Protege. They had to make some policy changes so you can no longer buy parts through them for other Mazdas you don't race.

              I replaced my 4 inner front LCA bushings with Whiteline's poly bushings that are designed to add some caster (almost always a good thing) to the front suspension.
              Are those the ones you were planning to order?

                I thought I had run across those somewhere in my search last week, but I can't locate them now. If you can find the part # I will see about including it with this sale.

                    Ya you'll have to run this by the For-Sale moderators or an administrator to get permission to post a Ground Buy or even a Gauging Interest thread (which don't technically exists anymore lol)

                        I'm sure we can work something out. I've sent some international stuff before and don't remember it being too outrageously expensive. If you can handle the extra shipping time and cost it shouldn't be an issue.

                          For extra time shipping, no issue.
                          Can you estimate shipping cost via USPS or others?
                          I just check with USPS a medium box with 20 pounds max and it is still acceptable for me 45$ but I hope the size packet can be reduced (small flate rate box 4 pounds max)
                          So let me know
                          Thanks in advance

                            Absolutely. I think we can make that work. I can repackage the kit in the smallest box I can find and send it.
