front GTR bar will fit, not sure about the rear... vaguely recall something about the rear towers having a slightly different angle. dunno about the Lantis.

is your source a shop or a person (and are you willing to share via PM?)

[concealer404]

You have PM.

Don't worry, i'll share with the rest of the community after i verify a few other things.

Yea with MX3 arms & MX3 axles will fit into your EGT spindles.

So with that setup, i do NOT use the RX7 balljoints, right? Sounds like that would just give me a TON of negative camber.




Oh, and the source for the Cusco bars is:

Still trying to verify fitment on a couple things. I'm wanting to run the Cusco Type ST bar up front, not the AS.

I'm having a hard time finding the AWR mounts for the MX3... these do exist, right? I"m wanting some nice stiff mounts for this thing, and trying to avoid filling them myself due to time constraints.

Awesome thank you!

That site gives me a headache.

No side mounts, huh? Wasn't Roodwerks making the side mounts? I can fill those if i have to, but the OCD in me wants them all to "match."

You are correct use your stock balljoints.

As for the mounts you can't replace, why don't you buy some large bushings to have pressed in? I've seen it done before

From what I've heard from the mx3 guys is that the awr front mount sucks and doesn't fit right. They suggest using the probe mount. You'll have to drill the holes just a little to get the threads through but its not bad to do and fits perfect

[concealer404]

Ah, so Probe front, MX3 rear, and homegrown sides.

Blah! I want MATCHING!

/OCD.

Thanks guys, will place order with AWR tomorrow.

[wgnths]

Man reading thru you only confused me too Ben! haha
let us know when you get those in!

[concealer404]

Heh, doesn't help that i changed my mind last minute about going to MX3 stuff. Decided that i just wouldn't be happy with myself if i left any possible performance on the table. Well, and going with Jim's MX3-length stuff wouldn't really be much more expensive then putting together the hybrid hodge-podge of stuff i'd need with the Escort arms.

I believe Jim will be sending me a package in the next week or so, so pictures will start to trickle in as they arrive. :D

[Mazda_Powered]

that'll be one big package haha (no homo)

[MATT91GT]

what kind of package are you expecting? lol

[concealer404]

Alright, all the brake stuff is here. The wheels are here. The Konis/Ground controls/Cusco are at Good-Win Performance getting a shock rebuilt. Jim looks like he's about done with the rear arms, i'll get pics up of those later. Also got a pair of Crow 5-point 3" black harnesses... should go well with Corbeau FX1 Pro Microsuede seats, huh? (Ordering those in a week.)

My motor should have made it to Indy yesterday, i'll be picking up next weekend if all goes well.

Waiting on South Bend to reply to me as to which clutch they recommend. It's between their Stage 1 Rally Series ($210 shipped) or their TZ Stage 2. ($300 shipped) Do you guys have clutch suggestions?

The bad news... first event is today, and i'm quite obviously not racing.

Anyways, here's some pictures!
