    What did you do to your ride today

    I concur that the CS Stage 2 RMM increases vibration, very little noise increase noted....though I usually have my iPhone turned up pretty high with the combination of the earphone cable plugged into the Bose system, and a power cable through a plug-in USB adapter. Changing the PMM back to...

    Dammond PMM installed....

    That, I did not know. I know I had the most recent model in my car. It would be interesting to compare the two. From my seat of the pants evaluation, the PMM made the most increase in NVH. Going back to the stock reinforced that for me as the NVH is now much less with the Stage 2 CS RMM and...

    Installed CorkSport preassembled springs/struts/camber plates

    I’d like to go up to that size next time too...but I don’t know if I will have enough room. I don’t want to get into fender rolling and stuff, just get the largest and widest tire I can fit on the wheel and under the fenders. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Dammond PMM installed....

    I just looked at the picture for this thread. I had the same PMM installed in my Speed, only I had a black colored donut, not gold....I don’t think different colors have different characteristics....<smirk> Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Dammond PMM installed....

    I’m not sure about different versions of the PMM (passenger side motor mount) that Damond makes. I know there are different versions of the RMM, one rather severe, but not with the PMM. Sorry. I had the one with the large rubber donut in the middle of the two attachment points between engine...

    What did you do to your ride today

    Yes, when I lowered the car and replaced the struts/shocks I found the vibration and noise more bothersome for my ride. Removing the DM PMM helped a lot, and since I am not doing autocross or any other kind of racing I am happier with this setup. Remember, I’m an old guy with a blown out back...

    The NVH is noticeable in the e-brake handle, but with the stock PMM and CS TMM insert, my NVH has decreased dramatically since I took the DM PMM out. I find it very acceptable and it sure helps decrease the torque steer. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    They come preassembled so you won’t need a spring compressor to install them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Dammond PMM installed....

    I had the Damond PMM removed and the stock part replaced. Much better! The ride is not as rough, my rear view mirror is no longer vibrating and there is no effect on torque steer that I can notice. The first $100 takes the DM PMM with less than 3,000 miles on it. Sent from my iPad using...

    Wheel Thread

    I had it done when I bought the car and had the whole care repainted in the Celestial Blue. Out here in Arizona, it is very common for the clear coat to oxidize, ruining the paint. Based on what I am putting into this car, I will likely keep it for decades...who knows, one day it may be going...

    Installed CorkSport preassembled springs/struts/camber plates

    So, my friends at CorkSport came up with a new package which includes their springs with struts and camber plates already assembled in front, and the springs and shocks for the rear. Good price and my excellent Mazda tech Drew installed them and aligned all 4 wheels without breaking a...
