truth about zx2 shocks

[viper_707]

Alright went searching and i have a dealership in waterloo that can get the shocks. They are priced at $254. Now thats a wicked price if i say so myself.

now i have another queston. are cars suspension is identical to the 323 hatch right?. So if i found a company that makes true coilover kits for the 323 they should fit my car right?

if this is all true then mazdaracer wont be the only one with a true coilover suspension

[mike_moss]

Yeah, I was told they were around $250/set. I paid ~$300...I was shocked to find they dropped in price!

Our suspension is same as the 90-95 323's...make sure it's for those years, because the stuff you found might be for 88-89 323 GTX and GT.

If it does fit our cars, let me know!

[viper_707]

Well that does it the 1st gen protege and 323 now has an available coilover suspension.

if this is all true then mazdaracer wont be the only one with a true coilover suspension

i'm sure somebody else has a set too But unless this is a brand new product or one thats been very hidden, i think Mike may be right, that they are for the 88-89 323.

hit us up with a link!

I poked around on their site and called the Canadian distributor (just 15mins from me in Brampton!).

Anyway, he said he can get the street race setup for $1580CDN.

He's going to shoot me an email to make sure it fits and all...that price is for the BG 323/Astina 1.8L...I figured it was the closest model.

323 GT/1.3/1.5 1983 - 1986 HB.SS 60-205-ADJ
323 GTX 1.6 1986 - 1987 HB.SS 60-210-ADJ
323 BG/Astina 1.8 1988 - 1992 HB.SS 60-201-ADJ
323 BG/Astina 1.6 1993 - 1995 HB.SS 60-207-ADJ
Lantis 323 1.6/1.8 1995 - HB.SS 60-202-ADJ
323 F 1.6 2001 - HB.SS 60-212-ADJ
MX-5......

Those 2 should work since its for the BG model. I would go with the second one since the first one also covers 88 for some reason. The first 2 are for the GLC/GTX (BF chassis, and that is what mazdaracer was warning you about.

[mike_moss]

I think you should go with the first (323 BG/Astina 1.8 1988 - 1992 HB.SS 60-201-ADJ) due to the fact that the spring rates and dampning may be different due to the different engine size. I will get an email confirming exactly what fits the 1st gen Protege and 90-94/95 323's.


Oh, and it's not totally shocking that they have listed under '88. I have seen '89 BG chassis cars overseas.

[D323]

89 yes, but 88?

thats a first for me.

[mike_moss]

It's not the first time I've seen things listed for '88. Either a typo or there is an '88.

Anyway, it's listed for BG chassis...and don't worry, I will be recieving an email about it.

[MazdaRacer]

just like here, alot of companies list the Protege as 91-94... look forward to the info Mike.

[viper_707]

i've got a guy done here who sell it also. i think this is what i'm gonna save up for now. I might be taking it off the road for the winter so i can rebuild the thing mayybe i can get these next spring or so

[mike_moss]

He quote the same price?
