but anything you find out that may be better, let us know! I want to go a lil lower in the front. you think the travel will be better with the shorter body?Last edited by 93BlkOnGreenPro; 08-15-2012, 08:12 PM.My car is a Vazondissan. Part Nissan. Part Mazda. Part Ford. Part VW. Part Honda.

Ya I know they'll swap, but the GE chassis struts are longer than the BG ones, so it defeats my purpose lol
GE: 12.25 compressed 18 extended
BG 323.Pro: 11.875 compressed 18.375 extended
BG ZX2: 11.75 compressed 17.25 extended
ZX2 is stil the shortest out of the 3, and is still the shortest out of all the Mazda FWD struts lol...-Jack

kaaaaaaaaaw!
same size inlet as my old T3 lol...don't need to make any paper gaskets for reference
seems a 2.5" exhaust flange is a weeeee too big hahaha
oh what's this behind the paper? Mazda catalytic converter inlet gasket!
All this means is finding a flange for the inlet will be pretty easy lol. Going to measure a 2.25" one so I can have the compressor housing ported.-Jack

old news, but thanks man! lol
I have access to every companies specifications page, so I have all the info I need for struts, just don't have anything physical in my hands to play with to check the lower clevis fitment.
edit: check my specs up a few posts, identical with the ones you just posted lol-Jack
