I am in the early stages of desing and production of a few parts for various vehicles.....and am interested in finding out what if any of these you guys would like in a production part. As well what you would pay for the parts.

1.) strut rod eliminator kit ( this will use your stock arms and be a weld in kit)

2.) Tubular control arms with camber adjustable uppers

3.) Billet interior knobs and swicth covers

4.) Mazda specific 4 link kits

5.) Mazda specific battery relocators ( under bed )

6.) Sheetmetal dash kits (universal)

7.) Custom fuel cells, application and location specific

8.) Mazda stock taillight LED boards....


ANd if you have any other ideas...

#1, #2, #6

As far as the Control Arms, I wouldn't want to pay as much as GrantKustoms/CanDo

If I was to pay close to that I would just buy from them, not shooting down your product at all, just my thought!

#1 couldn't be too spendy either because ppl would venture off and do it themselves! Except heim-joints are spendy little things!

And #6 I think is a good idea cause its a pretty popular topic here on the scene! And I spent $32.48 on my sheetmetal dash, I already had the bender! So who knows what price range?

#1 (As long as it included a good bushing and frame tabs, maybe shock tabs too) I would pay anywhere between $100-$150 USD
#2 Anywhere from $300-$500 USD
#6 $100 max. USD


Just my two cents, I think you have a GREAT idea here and you definetly have the skills too!!!

i think you should combine 1 & 2 , offer them as a kit or in stages.....tubular upper & lower control arms, adjustable uppers most deff, maybe a shock relocation kit to use with this, say stage 1 would get the adjustable tubular uppers & a shock relocation kit for those that want to bag it, stage two would get you a lower control arm kit to do away with the strut rod, and three would get you a tublular lower arm.... say $200 an arm? shock relocation kit $50?

i think someone else already makes them, but you have to buy a kit, a mazda front hub, that came predrilled for 5 lugs in diff sizes.....you could offer a total 5 lug conversion, or even a rear disc conversion.....hubs only $200, rear disc conversion...depending on what's entailed, $600.

i do like the idea of the billet knobs & other interior acc.....maybe $25 a knob...?

just a few ideas, keep us posted on what you come up with!

I'd be interested in pretty much all of them. All the suspension stuff is a good idea.

As for the billet stuff,I still like my idea of the billet door sills with Mazda engraved into them.

basically all the mazda specific parts are great ideas.
