    UPDATE JON!!! Common not all of us have a lathe to use
    Block is almost done, cylinders are overboard for Weisco pistons, pro gram billet main caps have been line bored, and my chinese EDT rods have been machined to right specs. Everything has been balanced.

                To bring a thread back from the dead, Superpro is shipping out their test batch of rear control arm front bushings and rear trailing arm rear bushings for the GTX/GTR from their Australian factory. Hopefully they will also fit the 4WD proteges. We've been waiting for these for years now, a few more months and they will be ready for the masses. A huge thanks to Superpro for coming through and providing a much needed quality product!

                    would anybody be interested in fully adjustable lateral links??

                    got em designed already. figure about 150 for all 4 links.

                    poly bushings to bolt onto subframe and heim joints to bolt onto knuckles.

                    also has mounts to bolt sway bar end link up.

                    made from all aluminum. gonna be making my own set here in the next month for testing.

                    pics are a first draft and im making revisions to them *not quite what i described but i found i needed to cut costs to make it more appealing to many of the members here*

                    kinda of a combination of the two link set shown at bottom. these are for subies and they do run 400 plus...

                    and anodize these also to whatever color you want. base *default* color will be orange

                    let me know if anyone is interested. if any of you have seen my lil 'projects' before...yeah i've never followed thru simply because i dont have immediate access to a machine shop that can produce those complex parts. These links, however, will be much easier!

                      if i could have the option of all poly bushings and a nice beefy sway bar mount tabs, i would be interested. will this also give us an option to extend the links? so we can have a wider rear wheel base? kind of like swaping in the mx3 links

                        sounds great jack. i'll get some measurements for the mx3 links from anotonio hopefully.

                        is it just the links that need swapping or is it the entire subframe AND links?? never researched it.

                          just the 4 links, they're 15mm longer per side for the mx-3. but i guess you could make them whatever length you wanted to lol.

                            ^ ideally +20-25 mm would be better suited to match the front when you install mx3 LCA's the rear is still tucked inwards a bit.

                              awesome! thanks for the input guys! i'll have 3 options available then. standard pro, standard mx-3 and super mx-3.

                              thought the mx3, pro and escort LCA were all the same??
