Woohoo, FM springs just got here!

[altiain]

I think I am using the stockers, It's just difficult to get the bars to the firmest position. The soft position is no problem. I am thinking that adjustable links might be the answer.

Strange. Are you sure you've got the bar in the right way? If you take the bar out, flip it around, and reinstall it, is the angle that the endlink makes with the flats on the end of the bar better or worse?

If you can't get a stock endlink to line up, you'll be completely screwed with an RB endlink - the way they're designed, they have a very limited range of pivot motion at each end, which means they're a lot more difficult to line up than a stock endlink.

I have seen way too many shop accidents to be playing around with that much potential energy being converted to kenetic energy. You are giving yourself a wonderful opportunity to be added to the Darwin list for nothing. Spring compressors are FREE, easy to use and safe. Re-attaching you finger is not.

What he said. Those springs are storing a tremendous amount of energy, and you can rent spring compressors for free at any VatoZone. Why on earth you would want to stand on something wrapped in a towel that had the same energy as a rifle bullet is beyond me, but it's your foot/hand/body/garage wall, not mine.

I have the old dust boots off my 99 I could give you, I just did my install last month they have around 40k but werew in great shape when I took them off but I wanted to go ahead and use the new ones I bought just to not have to redo it again anytime soon.
That job is a pain in the ass to do by yourself.

The bumpstops are integrated in the boots on M1's ('90-'97), unlike M2's ('99-up).

Jigger...did you see this? You can't use the boots off an M2 on your car.

AFAIK I'm free. Cell phone is 214-912-9261 if I'm not responding to computer messaging....

You should set up a post in Impromptu Events. To get more people to help. I have to put down ceramic tile most of the day tommorow. If I finish early I'll come out and help.

[Jiggerachi]

^Yea I was going to do that, but now I dont know. Town North Mazda has to order the bumpstops, & since theyre closed saturday(forgot about that), overnighting them lands them here on Monday at the earliest.

Anyone know where I could get 2 new bumpstops by tomorrow??

If I cant get bumpstops, then its a bust for tomorrow, dammit.

[channelmaniac]

Get them ordered with overnight shipping, Saturday delivery, from Trussville Mazda.

That would be un-cheap! You could lose you team CB card for that!

Have you tried Freeman Mazda in Irving? They may not be the cheapest but if you need them quick.......

[channelmaniac]

Yeah, but it would meet his schedule.

With the Trussville discount and no tax, it might come out pretty close to a local stealership price with tax.

RJ

[Jiggerachi]

Thats why im only getting the fronts, to keep the TCB status

You forget, my FM springs are used, & the AGX are $300 ebay special(still new though). So I think I have a little room to splurge on 2 new bumpstops.

Hell id use all 4 of the old ones if I could get away with it, im a cheap mofo.

Well Mr. Know it all have you shipped anything via. UPS Saturday delivery latel. It's not Team CB by any means!

You may want to plug the data into UPS.com's shipping rates calculator before you take Channelmaniac's advice as gospel.

Well Sparky,


Did you miss the word MIGHT in there?

Dang you'd think someone in town would stock them!

[channelmaniac]

POS? I thought I already was - hahahahahaha - anyway... first beer is on me at the next GTG.

Jigger... can they check other dealer stock for you to see if anyone local has them? The guys in McKinney did that for me once - that's how I found out where Town North was
