Are you referring to NASA TT/PT or spec miata?

I'm getting the news second-hand. I'm ASSuming that they'll be approved in the same classes as the eccentric bushings.

I'm hoping that this logo will work for NASA.

Okay now I'm interested...

Well that's upsetting. I just ordered two sets from Flyin Miata over the weekend. I sure would have like to have gotten the discount.

I do definitely appreciate you bringing these to market!

Bravo CordyCord! This is the cleanest way to get better camber out of the car. I was looking at modifying the lower CA ball joint mounting point. Well done sir!

Put me on the list. Hopefully someone drops out or you get more in.

approved meaning we can use them without a points penalty or approved for usage but take the +2 as listed under the suspension for TT/PT classing?

Default The Extended Lower Ball Joints ARE HERE!

I just got the air shipment tonight! That's the good news. The bad news is that they do not have the Bauer Ltd logo on them.

If you're on the list, please Paypal your hard-earned duckets to cord.bauer@***.net . $110 outside of CA and $118 if you live in our wonderful state.

Speaking of which, our good governor Moonbeam said this week, “You can be sure California is going to keep innovating, keep regulating, and, shall I say, keep taxing.” He's a car enthusiast's dream...

I'll pull your address from PayPal and confirm the tracking number via email. IF there are any left, I've got a couple of other people who have shown interest. I'll contact you if there are enough to go around.

Otherwise, NASA says these will be 100% legal in SM, In PT, competitors take 2 points. ST is currently going through a rules revamp, so we'll have to see what they do there. And SuperMiata sure as shinola will be using these ELBJ's.
