so maybe a vendor read this the other day or something, because I was told somebody bought 5 sets on a single order and cleaned them out. They have an order in for more, but no ETA from the supplier yet.

not cool if a vendor did that. i don't know why it takes to long to manufacture, it's not a complex piece to make. i was going to use my dad's lathe and turn out a set.

Well they’re probably not just sitting around with nothing to do

A lot of manufacturing companies have long backorders due to our country finally having a thriving economic policy and winning again.

and there’s nothing wrong with a vendor buying them, they make the parts available to people who might not otherwise might not be aware of this forum or Mazda Motorsports. I’ve seen a lot of motorsports parts for sale on Mazdatrix in the past.

well i dont think they are knocking it out by hand. the piece i got looks like cnc, with mazda engraving on it. im thinking mazda didnt want to order a big batch and have overstock sitting for years. not like rx8 race cars are thriving.

Well that just depends and nobody can magically tell you the exact number for your suspension and wheel/tire combination. Looking at the pics in your recent tire thread, it appears that more camber was likely needed, but that assumes tire pressure and f/r suspension balance were correct.

I’m still waiting on a call back for the estimated wait on the bushings.
