Great to see you guys stepping in to help.

What would you say caused these problems?

These guys know about it and sell the thrust bearings: http://www.tcdesignfab.com


How much are these? I can't find them on their website.

Many thanks to CEC........they kindly offered to inspect this install and components. Their opinion is that the shocks have leaked out and are shot. Very odd since they were working on the TT that they came off?
Not sure where to go with this......now out the cost of the Techarts + install.

Cheers,

J

Blackbear,

It was so many years ago, I don't remember, but IIRC they were about $35-70. I bought them in '02 when I got my car - It doesn't seem like I've had this car for 7 years...that's a record for me.

They were never on the web site, you have to call. I think they used to have a video on their website showing the spring popping.

2)for rear sway bar,contact Dan at Vivid racing to send you adjustable rear sway bar links(from mazdaRX8) and make them about 2cm longer than stock ones...by doing so you will not have contact between sway bar and rear trailing arm...Otherwise contact will occur if you stiffen the sway bar...hurting the trailing arm...
3)PSS 9 is not designed for lowering the car...what a shame...However,because i bought it and wanted my car to be extreme low,i opened the shocks and enlarged piston travel from inside about 1inch...Also i cut bumpstops at half gaining another inch...Normal travel of pss piston is 5,6cm...My final travel was 11cm...When the car sat on the road it still had 4cm of travel down and 6 to travel up...So it was fine concerned it is a sports car...With stock pss lowered to GT2 specs,the car touches bumpstops when sit on the road...what you felt was the bumpstops getting stiffer as they were pressed...
I just installed H&Rsway bars and on the stiffest setting I have about 1/8" clearance between the bar and strut (rear trailing arm?) on both sides with car on a lift and rear wheels removed. Will this cause a problem or will it be OK?
