Hey all

So Im putting zach's old suspension on my car - what torque specs did yall use for the a-arm bolt and shock mounting bolts?

Thanks

It is like 45ish I believe. Oh and easiest way to do it is to take the upper control arm to chassis bolt out for the front and the upper control arm to hub out for the rear. Other than that it is very easy. Oh and to get the front bolt out you have to loosen the sway bar mounts.

Hope ya put some good miles on them.
Yep got everything installed. I need an alignment now - I hear "Lanny's alignment" on miata.net is good O_o What do you use, Zach?
0 toe, front camber maxed out, rear about -0.5 more than the front.
I use a bit different alignment for mine. Going off memory here (don't have the specs in front of me) but I seem to remember:
-caster maxed
-slight toe out front, 0 in rear (I think, I'd have to look it up as it's been a while)
-camber maxed in front (matched side-to-side) and about 0.5-1 deg less in rear (closer to 0 deg in rear).
