Exocet Shocks/Springs/Poly bushes

[jamessid]

i am trying to find some replacment shock and springs for my Exocet build, possibly uprated, does any body have any sugestions, a lot i have found to be very expensive, also polybushes are the polybush kits on ebay any good, they sell the whole set for around £100 has anybody used these ?

For the springs/shocks, a few of us have gone with Raceland or Rokker coilovers. (They seem to be manufactured by the same company and are re-branded) They are very inexpensive and allow you to customize the ride height. Also have a three year warranty. I figured they would be a good starting point due to the low cost.

I remember reading a few other UK builders were using the polybush kits off eBay with success. I went with the Energy Suspension master kit energysuspension.com/ and have had good results.

I bought poy bushes off e-bay. The low cost set is about £100, marked up for each location and is a complete set for a Mk1.

As I am building a Mk2.5, I sold the spare drop link poly bushes on e-bay for £30.99. So made a cheap solution !

Springs - if your building a Mk1 - contact Stuart.

If your building a Mk2/2.5, I purchased (supplied red) springs from direct from FK Automotive - FKMA009 71.89 EUROS.

Have contacted Raceland, they said that they don't do them anymore for the Mk1, MX5 , have seen some simuliar on ebay 130509272322.

I actually bought the set for the NB and also purchased new NB top mounts, bushings and washers so I could update the suspension to the newer NB version. Got the idea from miata.net after reading about NA owners upgrading to NB suspension.


Note: If you go with Raceland/Rokkor coilovers you do not need the large washer (2nd from right in the photo above) as the kit comes with one.


You will need to cut the top bushing in half for it to fit.
