        monoxide? lol anyway, looking good man, you may have to flare that front end a little bit by the looks of things, also see what a set of camber bolts will do for you with the rotated strut hats like monoxide suggested, could save you a good $300 - $500.

          question do you have coilover sleeves in this?? What ones did you use like from what car? or are they custom?

              yep. the front is now just the ebay spring with no threaded sleeve on a stock bg strut. the back are just the springs as well. except bf struts.

              i went to the local autozone to order my axles today. driver side will be at the store tomorrow. but of course, the passenger side is special order. so it will be a few days. so i should at least be test fitting the driver side tomorrow. cross your fingers and pray for me! lol

              im using the 94 mx3 k8 axles non abs.

                I don't know why they keep selling you 94 V6 parts, they didn't make them in the US with a V6 past 93... weird...

                    unless there database is wrong. i looked the part up myself(my buddy works there so i pretty much help myself to everything.) the 94 mx3 has a 1.6 option or a 1.8 6 cylinder option. i did not see the 95 however.

                      only in canada and abroad were the V6's past 93. the ones you saw were probably dash swapped 92-93's.

                      maybe there were a few half years left over and that's why they have a listing at autozone.

                        IT FITS!

                        at least the driver side axle anyway. pictures later, off to work right now

                        only thing im worried about is the boot tearing from being kinda squished somewhat on the wheel end when turning.

                          congrats man! once you get that camber straightened out it should be better boot wise!

                            i jacked this side of the car up and got my buddy to turn lock to lock while i spun the wheel. it seemed to be ok. but it just looks scary. i know i didnt replicate high speeds, but it at least spun freely while turning. i will probably have to swap tie rods, because at the very end of the lock, the tire hits the lower control arm.

                              Put some new tie rod ends in and set the wheels up with couple of mm toe out and its going to help a lot. Good to see your axle fitted.

                                Special ordering the passenger today when I get out of school. Hopefully I can get lucky twice with the fitment. Lol
