Reply With QuoteNow you know how I felt when changing from 162000 mile stockers to AGX 8-ways
Of course you don't have to put up with Ebay coilovers for a month though, so I've got ya beat on that
Shocks On!
Thanks to jrj512 for hosting a successful shock tech day yesterday morning. TedtheRed sacrificed valuablediaper changingbonding time to be the first one there.
Thanks to Samm & POS Racing, for your help. Mr. Miatamoto, proving there's no such thing as 'too fashionably late', was there in time to supervise the critical center wheel cap installation. But what a difference between the Tokicos and the 158000 mile stocks!
The whole job was complete in just under three hours, plus we learned the secret ingredient of jrj512's BBQ sauce!(hint: one of the B's stands for brakefluid!)
Caravaned over to Red ThrobbinTM for lunch afterwards. Sadly, we were all too full for any trunk stuffing contests.

Nice work! Did you put springs on too, or just shocks?

JR, you should take up a colection and install a lift in your garage. Be a lot easier then puttin all those cars up on jack stands.
Nice work. Again I got to miss the fun because of work.
Woo Hoo! Almost perfect timing on my part!

Lightness? What's that? I drive a PRHT!
Just shocks, no springs, no blankies.
You more likely to have successful "trunk stuffing" if I am present.Originally Posted by cam76034
Glad to see that you're no longer ridin' dirty.(aka "on the bumpstops")
I've been curious to know how the Tokico's ride, even though I have the TEIN FLEX. Tokico's were pretty popular for drifting a few years ago.
AGX 8-ways
I've ordered a set of AGX 8-ways...should be in this week. I have a set of lowering springs from Suspension Techniques I bought from an individual on miata.net. I'd be curious to how you've experimented with your adjustments...?

I'm still dicking around looking for springs, and I ran across this package at Goodwin Racing... anyone got experience with a set?
