D2 Racing Coilovers
-
so mx-5 struts fit an mx-3 then?!
-
yeh that is very interesting
-
@a3f3b6769a=robx1r:
pre order sale? lead time 6 weeks etimated???? tbh buy any set for an mx5 and get top plates for the mx3 cheaper and simpler. the weight difference between the mx3 and 5 is negligable and the front and rear struts are the same
Can anyone confirm this????
and if correct its just the difference in the top mounts…
-
News to me! Robbie just makes things fit :lol:
-
i'm going by aftermarket companys part numbers i know for a solid fact that the front mx3 hubs are the same as the mx5, i have mx5 calipers on the front, ksport also do a big break kit for the mx5 and mx3 guess what the kit numbers are the same! the rear calipers are also the same.
my coilovers are off a 323 (aot heavier than an mx) mounted to the hubs fine and i'm prepping the car for timeattack i drilled a new hole for the front shock (pics are in my project thread!)
-
Id being going straight for the GAZ mx-5 coilovers then!!
Dont mind a bit of modding, fronts do look similar, but rears look
more like a shock than a mcpherson strut!?
-
These are cheap, if you can make these fit?? Don't know what build quality though Was thinking of getting them for my girlriends MX5

-

ok a correction to this foepar, i today went to my local motorfactor who kindly let me loose on there computers to crossref some info regarding the above…
results are the the info i recieved from and american company was incorrect the escort struts are pigtail on the front and hooped at the rear so will not fit, the mx3 struts are unique to the mx3 as they are handed which means they cannot be swapped from corner to corner for instance ie: the front passangers can only be replaced with a front pass like for like....hope this clears things up a little.. sorry for the mistake..
