Johann made these custom sway bar spacers because the tie rods were making contact with the swaybar:
These trailing arms are from RX7.com and they feature rod ends to replace the stock bushings. Also put rod end seals (dust covers) to keep them clean (5/8 " from http://www.bakerprecision.com/rodacc.htm):
Bought new kumho v710 race tires (heat treated). 245-45-17 fronts and 275-40-17 rears. Mounted and balanced by David at Sears:
I don't have pics of these installed (by Johann) but here's the description from the RX7.com website:
These bushings replace the factory liquid filled units. Whether you're doing a repair or a performance upgrade, these bushings are the ones to have. The factory bushings have quite a bit of flex and allows the drivetrain to move quite a bit. Installing these adds more predictability to the drivetrain, less shifter movement and less wheel hop. For drag racing, these are a must. These are solid differential mounts, but use a composite plastic material for noise dampening with a steel insert for added bolt area strength.
I have noticed a reduction in wheel hop with the trailing arms and Diff bushings (but one of my stock diff bushings was completely ripped).
