Spring rates Stock (93-95 ??) 96-97 have progressive springs I think
PGT: front = 190 rear = 135
MX6: front = 165 rear = 145
626: front = 140 rear = 115
Mazda/Ford same, but check MTX or ATX + ABS or non-ABS as they differ considerably.
For those of you looking for (Russell) Speed Bleeders so you can make brake bleeding an easy one-person job, I just ordered a set for my 93' 626 w/ 4 wheel disc and ABS.
The part # is 3957, and I assume it's Russell's part #, because Summit's have a lot more numbers in them. The rep didn't have any thread specs, just the part #.
Cost is $9.95/pair, so $20 for the whole car.

Leather shift boot: I am trying to get a new leather shift boot for a 5 speed. I tried Scooters, but he wanted to see a used one for $65 and couldn't guarantee any quality, "you don't like it, tough" were his exact words. 24May99
Door Lock Control Panel Bulbs: Tiny bulbs cost about $6.17 each with "blue condom". 22Jan98
