you dont think the grease that comes with the kit is any good?

Since re-greasing all these things isn't going to be fun, you may as well do it as little as possible. Using a high quality waterproof grease compatible with polyurethane should go a long way to extend the time between service intervals.

so your saying to get this, how much would you say one needs to lube all the bushings in the car?

 

I ordered the 8 oz "tub" and my installer used most of it - he may have went a little overboard but better that then have to pull the stuff apart in six months

 

Yea might aswell, not a bad price for it.

 

Yea plus I bet it can be useful for other stuff, just ordered it.

 

I've heard some transmission shops will install bushings, you might try that - the question is can you trust your car to a typical "hack and slash" trans shop

 

I'll be removing the parts from the car myself, wouldn't bring the car.. But I'm going to look for someone with a press before I go to a shop

 

just got my kit in. but i am a little confused as im going by the picture diagram i have SPF2676K, SPF2675K, SPF2674K, SPF2677K, SPF2821K, SPF2370K, SPF2822K, SPF2823K, and then i have SPF2679K...

now looking at the diagram i do not see a spf2679k and do not have the spf2678k are these to the same?

 

got an answer from ard, emailed the people i got it from, seems like there is a bit of false advertisement. hope to try and return it without there being a 15% restocking fee

 

They should be the same. I believe that is the updated part number. You should have 4?

What do you mean?

 

Whoops after checking the catalog again it looks like the SPF2679k is the eccentric bushing and SPF2678k is the standard. Can you see the pin for those bushings? Is the hole off center?

 

yes i just had a talk with ard about it, they are off center.... im trying to return this bushing kit because they advertised the
24 piece
1. Diff…...................2
2. Toe Links…...........4
3. Trailing Arms…......2
4. Shock Mounts….....2
5. Rear Upper Arms…4
6. Front Arms….........8
7. Steering Rack….....2

which this kit did not come with shock mounts and i was stupid enough and kind of blind and didnt see it say 24 piece instead of the full 28. but still they dont mention what kind of kit this is which it is kit130adjk which comes with the eccentric bushing(i did not want that)

i think they will still want their 15% restocking fee, is there anyway i could get around it since their advertising was wrong?

 

I'm not quite sure I follow. They advertised it as the 28 bushing kit and you got 24 bushings? Or they advertise it as the 24 bushing kit and you got 24 bushings, you just thought it was the 28 bushing kit?

 

no they advertised the 24 its just i didnt see/notice it. i just saw super pro bushings and figured its all the same. i didnt think there was another kind of kit , and as you can see from the post above on number 4 it says shock mounts, its suppose to come with the shock mounts, but they dont come with them. so wouldnt that be considered false advertisement? also about that adjustable eccentric bushing they didnt say anything about that or that it was the kit130adjk on their site,

 

SPF2676K - 2 bushings
SPF2675K - 2 bushings
SPF2674K - 2 bushings
SPF2677K - 2 bushings
SPF2821K - 4 bushings
SPF2370K - 2 bushings
SPF2822K - 4 bushings
SPF2823K - 4 bushings
SPF2679K - 4 bushings

So according to the part numbers listed and the catalog you actually got 26 bushings? I would just call them if you feel they did something wrong, but I doubt you'll get anywhere because you wanted the more compelte kit.

 

I have adjk kit, too, which I didn't really want, but I'm stuck with them now. I'll need to take it to a good alignment shop where they know how to adjust them

I bought shock mounts and front sway bar bushings from Powerflex

 

Yea I don't know why it says 24. But I don't like the fact it says it comes with the shock mounts when it doest. And that adjustable bushing looks/ is a pain in the *** as I'm told. Why can't they say that? Didn't even say it was the kit130adjk, so I thought it was everything.( I am an idiot for that I know)

 

I don't know if the adjustable bushings are something to be that scared of

 

i just went by what ard said, that its a pita, is it all installed in your car now?

 

Yes, but I haven't had it aligned yet - I definitely won't be taking it to a clueless tire dealer (I'll use Pettit's recommended alignment settings)

 

I'm going by how Howard recommended. Is there like a way to set it that it's exactly like stock before you added it?

 

Do you have a link to Howard's settings? Best thing is just set it to a neutral position and then get it to a good alignment shop for fine tuning

 

Toe in front between a 1/16 and 1/8th inch
Toe in rear zero
Camber front and rear 1.2 degrees negative
Caster equal minimal (not 100%sure what he means by this tho)
Zero rear thrust angle.

thats from howard on this thread he did https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...Howard+Coleman
