Queens NYC Thursday Night Weekly Meet
I dunno should I go out, it takes me like 5 minutes to get there but I'm feeling like **** atm ...
We were talking about this "claim" thing, might as well post it here .
the NYC Comptroller Office has a "claim" system that if you believe your property/yourself was hurt/damage and its NYC's fault. You can file a claim against the city.
This Claim system works BEST for pothole(s) damage.
I had lots of damage (as I told you guys tonight) and I filed the claim thru the system everytime, I got most money back. the rest of them I have to pursuit some other 3rd parties and its going to be a while.
if they deny your claim,but you still believe the NYC is wrong, you can file a claim thru the small claims court for a small fee (less than 100 I think), other than that nothing to lose.

Download the form, fill it out, and use their e-claim system to file it, remember you have to take A LOT OF PICTURES OF THE POTHOLE/SCENE/DAMAGE !!!!! this is very important !!!!! if you don't they will deny your claim without even looking at it.
and from time to time their e-claim system "goes down" and they have "no idea why", it happened to me a few times so if you get some kind of funny error at or after the uploading part(you will know what I mean), try it again the next few hours.
after you are done filing the claim, you should get an email with e-receipt from the claim system.

This is what you need, its 140.99, add another 9 bux worth of stuff like Washer Fluid/Wax/Car wash/etc to make it "just a tad over 150 bux", then use VISA as your coupon code, knocks 50 bux off 150. so total will be 100 + tax, free shipping.
Obviously you need to buy 2, just break them up in 2 separate orders
Monroe is about 40 bux cheaper, but their shocks are garbage I don't recommend them. KYB shocks (the link from the above) are much better in quality and should last forever (but versus NYC potholes ... I dont know
)if you want "stock" rear shocks, I assume you have "sports" suspension (your car is not base model right?)
FE87-28-700 is what you need, 150 bux from OnlineMazdaParts.com (+ shipping, no tax)
Choice is yours
but you should go to another garage and get a 2nd opinion first, but 99% of the time when the car "sags", the shock(s) are the cause.
Cheers

For those of you asking me about puddle lights:

That's the thread for the forum vendor

Here's a cheap DIY alternative
I can help you install it, but it's not too hard. The hardest part is getting the door panel off; takes a strong heart and a patient person to do it!
