looks like your bushings were rusted in place and pressing them out caused a little damage. Measure the opening and get measurements for the shpericals and see if they would still work if you had the openings smoothed out a bit...

why the F would they do that? How hard can it be to press out a rubber bushing? Like i asked however, can they still be used?

Will the Hasport b-Series Axles work for the swap?

those can probably be used... poly bushings would probably work fine, and if sphericals are still tight, they can be used.


they did that because they didnt know how to do it correctly.

i like to chop out the rubber of the bushing, then put a nice slice most of the way through it with a sawzall, to weaken it.

then pound it out carefully.


they (when rusty) can be hard to "press" out.

Question for you guys because y'all actually use your cars unlike the DC guys seem to lol.

Does anyone know anything about SCCA AutoX classes? I can't figure out what class my car will fall into.

Mods:
Omni Power coilovers (12/10k)
Hawk HP+ pads/Brembo Slotted Rotors
A/C and cruise removed
HKS HiPower catback
eBay SRI
eBay STB

When I go I'll have:
15x7 +37 Advans
205/50/15 Kumho XS
ITR lip kit/side skirts/Mugen Gen 1 Spoiler (IDK if 'aero' bits have any effect but just in case)

thanks man. I just basically took my rear fender off and made a bracket for the license plate. My bike has undertail exhaust anyway so there's not really a kit to buy lol. I also had a local bike shop make me a 6" led bar with integrated turns that I just mounted above the plate. Sometimes I worry if people can are it lol but I usually flash the hell out of the brakes when I stop

I bought mine for $50 from a guy in the Netherlands a few years ago. He even shipped it to me and trusted me to pay him once it got to me since he was so far away. It didn't have the mounting hardware though. But it serves it's purpose.

If anyone is looking for some serious bearings, PM a guy named "chrisb" He contacted me through some other threads and is a straight up guy. He makes these parts on his own and quality shows, he is a true enthusiast. This is not for the light of pockets though.. Before bashing prices, send him a message first and you may see where he is coming from.

guy msged me as well. You right, seems like good quality parts, with a price tho. The only thing i didnt really appreciate was how he was bashing hard against the competitor, in which i ended up going with. I never really liked the idea of bashing other people/products in order to get ahead. Guess thats why ill never be a business man

I contacted MFactory today because I am disappointed that all the parts I have are now discontinued and not even for sale; MFactory isnt even dealing with suspension components anymore. I guess its what I get for being the test rat on buying from a new company. My main issue is that once the bearings are shot or something goes wrong I really have no company to call and ask for replacements! Very disappointed about this. not sure whether to sell all the parts I have before using them or beat them until there dead and start over.
But they said to keep eyes open for there new company: www.modusagile.com which will offer a full line of suspension components. I hope this time they stick around and dont flop in 2years because they "went a different route". order with caution.

Anyone interested in a full Mfactory set-up?!!?!
