soo, is it ready for sunday? lol

Yea its ready. Nothing's taken apart or giving me issues. I just figured its time to change them and wanted to do so before it starts giving me problems.

Eric-Thanks!

There isn't much difference between SuperPro or Powerflex bushings really, expect SuperPro is less expensive for a whole kit by about $200.

I need to check out those Atomic Rex pillow balls. Too bad Atomic Rex seems like a flaky company, they are impossible to get a hold of sometimes so I would be nervous sending them money.

I may want to come over and take pictures some time. Nice digs.

Yea I saw some threads where they were hard to get ahold of. He responded pretty quickly to my pm though.
He gave me a quote on the following:
PFF36-301 Front Lower Wishbone Front Bush (2)
PFF36-302 Front Lower Wishbone Rear Bush (2)
PFF36-303 Front Upper Wishbone Bush (4)
PFF36-308 Rear Track Control Arm Inner Bush (2)
PFF36-309 Rear Upper Wishbone Bush (4)
PFF36-310 Rear Upper Wishbone Outer Bush (2)
Pillow Ball Bushes (6)

All for £443.83 or about $733 shipped. Said it could be a bit less if he can get it in a smaller box. Only thing about the Superpro is that I get some bushings that I don't really want. Still up in the air though.

Give me some time and it may look quite similar to yours! lol.

I was unaware that Atomic Rex made pillowball bushings. I thought Mazda was the only one. I like my SuperPros, but I've never ridden in a car with Power Flex so I couldn't tell you. I could give you a ride in my car but you'd definitely feel the harshness of the Stance...well, you have them too so it would be accurate I guess haha.

I just stumbled across them. It's a bit cheaper than buying them from Mazda. I'll have to take you up on that ride.

6 pillowballs from Ray Crowe is $410 plus $13 to ship IIRC, but that's just the pillow balls, no other bushings.

I think I'm close to being ready to order these. Oh, those bushings I posted above are Powerflex.

Eric, Ian, and I out and about today...obviously before "the incident".

Here's another one...

PXRdriFT · Postby **PXRdriFT** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 9:14

Looking at getting an oil pressure and temp gauge. Anyone prefer one type over another?

iani1.1 · Postby **iani1.1** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 9:14

for oil pressure and temp i'd personally go with defi but for the budget minded like me prosport or an autometer does the job. i rocked the prosport gauges theyre pretty good imo

ProSport isn't bad if you ground the sensors properly. Defi is the shit but very expensive for a complete setup.
