noob wants a good solid drop and still daily it...

the banging is definantly the shocks bottoming out... it took me like 3 days to figure it out... till u can get drop shocks just crank the torsion bars back up a lil, and flip the joints... it'll be fine till ur ready for shocks, then u can go a lil lower again.... if u cant find the write up lemme know, ill tell u how ..... it is veeeeeeeery easy... but requires a saws-all or a dyr grinder

I plan on flipping the joints possibly this weekend, and I figured it was the shocks banging...

thanks for all your help, i love this site

i'll post pics once i get it down

There is basically no reason to flip the balljoints on a mazda that is not bagged... of course that is just my opinion... and as for the rear, I would recomend a dearched leaf over a block, or a new leaf pack... didn't belltech make one?? blocks are crap.

when i flipped my joints, i got almost an inch drop... just a hair over 3/4... it only takes about an hour to do.... so i think its worth the effort

sounds worth it to me, but what do i know...

picked up a grinder, and want to try the ball joint flipparoo this weekend, thanks again B's...

well even if you dont want to go lower its still nice to flip them because you gain back a little bit of your suspension because the torsion bars arent twisted quite as much. and yes belltech does make 3-inch drop leaves for out back.

i love the ride now with the flipped ball joints! amazingly smooth! hmmmmmm dropped spindles or dropped control arms next! yep its highly addictive

if you plan on bagging it get the spindles.

yup i have a set of 3 inch belltechs in the shop
