June 10, 200917 yr Author comment_351288 Can't adjust camber on a KE55, only castor dude. :y: thanks for the info raven Report
June 10, 200917 yr comment_351300 Plenty of ways to fix that though :y: Longer lower control arms if you want to be dodgy will do it. Report
June 10, 200917 yr comment_351345 Or you can get a degree or two by slotting the holes in your strut towers. :y: The E30 shock probably would fit, I know you can modify older BMW koni's etc to fit old skool mazdas. I'd say why bother though when any AE86 adjustable shock is a straight bolt in, or the sierra shocks for short stroke. Report
June 10, 200917 yr comment_351349 Why bother when you can get GOOD aftermarket shocks? There are about eleventy trillion suspension/ handling threads in here. Most recent would be this one (It was last answered four hours before you made this thread) : http://www.rollaclub.com/board/?showtopic=30308 Searching is your friend. Report

June 11, 200917 yr comment_351581 Don't know off hand, but then again what I pay for them and what you would pay for them would be two seperate issues. Probably around the $300- $400 for the pair. I stress that these are good shocks, and not your monroe/ gabriel/ kyb level stuff. Report

June 12, 200917 yr comment_351703 If you do it right the first time you'll probably end up saving money instead of dicking around with other setups and eventually ending at the same conclusion. Report
June 12, 200917 yr comment_351721 I stress that these are expensive shocks :y: No, expensive shocks are Drummond or MCA (proflex). I was quoted $4200 for four MCA Shocks for my 55 hardtop. These are mid range shocks that are good quality. You get what you pay for. Edited June 12, 200917 yr by Redwarf Report
