I have the equivalent pieces on my swap, they really help minimize wheel hop.

I work close to RP's shop. I have been by there 4 or 5 times trying to buy these. They never have a full set in stock. I'm calling them again today before I drive over, if they have them I plan on buying them.

My rear suspension is all original/stock and I have wheel hop problems. From everything I have read a kit like this is the solution.

I have the exact setup on my car. Necessary IMO. They tighten up the rear suspension quite a bit.

I have that kit with the diff bushings, replaced all of my pillowballs, and went with Tein Flex coilovers with a Racing Beat rear bar and a Tripoint tubular front bar and my car handles GREAT! I was going to do a full poly bushing swap but after driving the car as is...nothing more needs to be replaced, the rest of my bushings are in very good shape.

You wouldn't need the trailing arms if you put delrin or poly bushings in your stock pieces... The toe links I think are necessary, the diff bushings are VERY necessary. The stock liquid filled, rubber bushings are TOTAL CRAP and had no business being on a car like this. Another area where Mazda got too creative for their own good.

This kit AND replacing your pillowballs. They are designed to wear out...and need replacing on almost EVERY FD I have ever riden in or driven.

I have the trailing arms, but haven't driven the car yet. They LOOK nice

Already done - DallasV8 helped me on that one.

If/when RP finally gets these parts in I will install them along with Tanabe F/R bars, Tein SS coilovers and Racing Brake BBK - all of which are impatiently waiting in the garage...

But first I have to fix my alternator charging problem...

Well considering I was there (Rotary Performance) at 2 pm today - No.

Are you perhaps thinking of Gotham Performance over in Ft Worth? They closed/moved/re-opened at a new location...
