Well, I have a dilemma. Last month I took my Mazda to Bio Kustums to have the bags re-worked. While it was there they built a new frame back-half and added a new three linked Toyota rear. This was done in preparation for the SFBD and a new Toyota front clip. (My stock clip is pretty wasted from several different set ups and constant dragging.) I will still have them do the SFBD, but my problem is this: Do I swap in the Toy clip or do I run a z'd factory clip with Cando's control arms? I am leaning toward the latter because I won't have to alter the steering box, linkage etc...

I'd go for the Toy clip. Save the money you spend on control arms. Toyotas have better steering geometry, less bump steer, and you creat more when you swap to a Toyota spindle because the pivots are in different locations. Or, just ask Max. He'll point you in the right direction.

Good points Seth. I guess I will go with the Toyota clip. Max wants to do the swap too. But sometimes I need a second opinion.

I don't have any thing but the pic above right now. The Mazda is scheduled to go back to Max (Bio Kustoms) at the end of the month.

As far as the can-do arms, they do upper and lowers for stock Mazda spindles as well as toy conversion arms. I don't know too much about them yet, as this is an option someone just made me aware of...I hear they are about $700 for the set.
