Hey boys and girls,

Long time no speak, i\'ve been busy moving house and decorating etc, well the place is all done, i\'ve got a nice warm garage to put the Rx in the problem is I can\'t move the bloody thing.

Right here is the dilema, and solution would be amazing cause right not I have a massive paperweight on my parents drive that is no use and no fun.

The car came with lowered springs and dampers (potenza street dampers) these werent bad but i got some coilovers cheap, used the coilovers for a while until one of the rears gave up and started knocking badly (hks). So thought i would swap back to the lowered springs and dampers. Upon further inspection one of the bushed at the bottom of the damper was shot. Now here lies the problem. Its not the same size as a standard mazda one so I have no idea how to replace it.

I have 2 choices from what i can see, get the HKS coilovers fixed, likelyhood in the country i would imagine to be next to nothing.

Try and track down this elusive bush also very slim, i\'ve posted a photo below so you can see the difference. If anyone can help in anyway i\'d be gratefull as I don\'t want to have to shell out for new suspension.



HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

Thanks

I\'ve emailed them but i\'m not holding out a lot of hope. from what i can gather these are pretty rare dampers and finding the correct bush is going to be even harder.

Anyone else shed some light on this or provide a solution.

Also does anywhere refurb HKS coilovers in the UK
