Does anyone know of any bolt in suspension parts from other vehicles? I know spindles from later mazda trucks for disc brakes and all but looking for better handling. If all else fails lowering and sticky tires might work. Thanks

I don't know of anything else that has similar front end parts. I tried everything I could think of when I was looking for drop spindles, but nothing fit. You can get custom springs from Coil Spring Specialties. www.coilsprings.com/Fill out their order form and they will make any spring you want. I got 2" drop springs from them That were perfect - although they didn't quite drop it 2", maybe get 2 1/2" drops? Anyway they were a great quality product, cost $300.00. A little steep maybe but worth it in my book. Of course lowering the back you can get blocks from just about anyone and they work fine. The Courier is a great candidate for a "sport truck" because it is light and the weight distribution is nearly 50/50 without doing anything to it. |

Theres away to swap to 80 something spindles and it makes an easier disc brake swap and they sell drop spindles for those years also

This is the only 80's B series drop spindles that I have ever been able to locate. www.ebay.com/itm/J-86-93-MAZDA-B2000-B2200-B2600-2-DROP-SPINDLES/164445283103?hash=item2649b3e31f:g:khgAAOxytdlQ~xJPI bought a set and they didn't fit. Ball joint spacing was waaaaay too close together and the spindle diameter was too large. If you find some that are a straight bolt-up I'd love to get the art number from you. I've lowered the race car (truck!) 4" with a combination of custom springs, modified lower control arm and shorter front tires, but I'd love to get another inch and a half! |

Yes I've seen this vid. It is the main reason I bought the parts. But I think he must have had his wires crossed, because I could see no way that those spindles were going to work on the Courier.
