anyway, I went on mazdaspeed motorsports to figure out how much it would be to replace all the rubber pieces in the stock top mounts since mine should be fairly worn after 40k, turns out its only $35 to replace everything which i'd be doing rather than reconditioning the old rubber. New rubber parts will make them pretty much good as new.

part numbers for what you need are below:

4 qty F151-28-776
4 qty F151-28-775A
2 qty F151-28-012

I would not post tracking numbers here, I've been able to re-route packages in-transit just with a tracking number

Oh yeah, sweet suspension. I'm seriously considering these or the Tein Flex's with EDFC. If the top adjuster is the same, I don't see why you couldn't mount a complete EDFC kit on these. Of course the caliabration would be off.

Yeah so it would be worthless, think about it let say tien adjuster does one full 360deg rotation, these KWs do 3.5 360deg rotations. Beside that the adjuster isn't the same, hense why i had to buy my own motors and have my own programing table made, plus the kit i'm making will be a lot more practical than EDFC the component are going to end up costing between $50-100.00, its ridiculous they charge $360 for that.

^Yeah that's what I was thinking anyways. I just like the digital controller of the EDFC. If you wanted to go more high tech and depending on how electrically-innept you are, you could make a custom digital controller. Like a read out for each setting your changing, or even allow for micro adjustments. I would use two ***** and then do the same for the front so you can adjust both in the car as well.

I plan on using something similar to the volume ***** on stereos, They are going to be small enough that they can fit in sequence, in the mini change holder under the DSC OFF button and other buttons.

that sounds good. Getting the calibration right is key, of course.

I still like a digital readout or something. I guess I would make so it can fit in the ashtray and have numbers outside with switch position that are easy to read- so you can simply flick it to a pre-determined setting. Plus, then you could look at it in a glance and know you settings. Just an idea.

You can glance at a fender guitar and know your at volume 10 because its pointing to "10" etc....

Problem with "digital potentiometers" is that they are bulky and expensive, and wouldn't look right in the interior the only substitue i found was this new zalman fan speed contoroller just imagine it saying Shock 1 instead of Fan 1.

Problem is again bulky and expensive.
