It might help if you told us which one of your cars this was for

[Mad Mat]

bahahahahaha lol my mazda.... the only mazda i own lol.. the lada isn't gettin and special treatment lol... just cut springs and gear box oil in struts

[Orion]

Well, there are virtually no rear strut braces. Your best bet on that one is probably getting an Autoexe one through Rupe.

There are plenty of front strut braces. eBay might be worth a look. I know that MPS Garage would carry the CorkSport one.

BC Coilovers might also be carried by MPS Garage, you would have to check. If you do order through MPS Garage be prepared to wait a while for your parts

You picked up a rear strut brace last week!

[Mad Mat]

Cool about installing the Autoexe front strut brace I have a couple of questions about how you did yours but I will chat to you online sometime about that.

Swaybars are easy. Rear swaybar - get a Progress rear swaybar from eBay . Done, dusted, no more needs to be thought about or said . Great fitment, easy install and great results .

Front swaybar - the only upgrade I am aware of is the MSP front swaybar (maybe Autoexe do one - not sure about that though). Installing any front swaybar is a pain in the neck as you will have to remove some of the support cross-members that are in the engine bay. It can be done but it is a lot of work.

thanks mate will look into it

ya just call me when ya want.. i still need two mmore bolts 4 the firewall part of the swaybar but apart from that it went in ok

Thats the one! If you can find out if they'll do a cheaper combined shipping for 2, you can count me in

I dont see the point in getting a bigger front sway bar, as they are 20mm standard from what I know..

Here's how I did it over the last couple of years. There are better ways though.

Got my BC kit from ProtegeGarage. Justjap is now the Australian distributor and cheaper.

Corksport supplied my GTspec front and rear strut braces, front lower tie brace and Progress 22mm rear swaybar.

Montgomery Mazda/OnlineMazdaParts suppleid the Mazdaspeed 25mm front swaybar.

I would reccomend getting both swaybars unless you want a very tail-happy setup. I had just the rear for 2 weeks. Great fun as a novelty, but dodgy for a daily driving(wet weather, drunks, kids, skippy etc jumping out in front of you).

The front isn't THAT hard to swap. You don't have to completely remove the cross member, just lower it enough on it's bolts to wriggle the bars through(remove the pin in the #1 mount too). Get the car nice and high on the jackstands so you have plenty of room.

I am now very happy with my cars setup with all this stuff installed. Balance pretty neutral, but will liftoff oversteer when required (or when NOT required if old heat cycled out R1Rs are on the back...)

I just got back from the Orange County Choppers Mazda Meet in New York, sorry for the late reply on this email. i can waive all shipping charges if full retail price is paid.

Reply from Ken.

Be about ~170(AUD) a bar + postage to you. Ken quoted me awhile back 55 dollars for bar posted to aus. (On the 01-26-2010) Be about 65-70 AUD cheaper. (Depending on postage to you)
