Best Springs for stock struts

[kamon8404]

Does anyone know the best springs to use on the stock strut without tearing them to hell and back? I don't want the ride to be slammed on the ground but lower than stock height, and without compromising the stock strut. Any suggestions?

im very interested in this answer also, i have read info in here about progressive and linear but that doesnt quite do it for me. Can someone elaborate on the benifits / cons to any out there. Thanks Kamon for asking the question.

No problem. Anything for the mazda community.

Since the MSP's already have Tokico Blues from the factory, just about any set of springs will do fine without hurting the struts, I would think. If you want to match the ride quality of stock, then check out the Spring Buyers Guide sticky in the suspension subforum. Just look at the different spring rates and try to get as close to stock as you can to avoid an ultra harsh ride.

Unfortunately, I don't have a MSP so others should chime in about personal experience and what exact set should be bought. However, I've heard good things about Eibach and Espilir (both very streetable). Others have run Goldlines, Tein's etc but the two big E's are the most praised.

the shocks should take it but like you said don't slam it. Speaking of I was just looking at these from Tri-Point Engineering.

Never heard anything bad about H&R

unless you like riding with your ass end high like an srt4 i would stay away from tein s-tech's. the struts that come on the msp are diff from the regular tokico blues so the perch is different than tein suspected. sooo like me you get a really nice drop on the front and no change on the rear. i recently picked up some falken springs and im just gonna swap out the rear hope to get it down. ill let ya know how that goes once i re-lower it

thanks, msp608. Anyone else?

progress does a nice set of springs, they ride stock, but the drop is almost perfect.
