The front are strut suspension and still would go to positive camber if pushed hard. This is totally different if you are talking about Miata since it run double wishbone and maintain camber curve much better during cornering. If you are looking for stability get the upgraded front. If you want...

Sorry, Did not know there are other vendor for Koni here. KYB would be more that fine for daily driver. As predicted the annual Koni sale start today. This usually brings the cost of FSD or Yellow Sport to $450-500 shipped. In the mean time KYB step up the game and giving $40 rebate too from...

Anything can be broken. Does not mean its inferior product but there are a lot of factor can make it defective. As long as the company back it up I have no concern. BTW: Annual Koni 25% off sale are going on now. You probably could get FSD or sport for %450-500 for a set.

I bought my Koni sport last year for $450-480 from Auto Anything. Its $599 now with 15% discount code Welcome15. Thmotorsports have FSD for $589 shipped. http://thmotorsports.com/koni/koni_fsd_shock_kit/21004045/i-226892.aspx S559 for Sports...

My wife hit a curb last week and tore 2" gash on one of our Dunlop Wintersport 3D. Unfortunately the size are not in stock anywhere so I was forced to run our all season tires. We just got a set of Pirelli P7 Cinturato All season plus last fall so I reluctantly put the set back on. Yesterday we...

The OEM 10+ MazdaSpeed3 RSB bushing bracket are very beefy. I need to look closer if they will fit aftermarket bushing or have use OEM style bushing.

2007-2013 MS3 RSB would fit. 2010-2013 might need to knock the lateral clip about 3/8-1/2" toward the center. I use crescent wrench and then tap it from the side using hammer to move the clip. I bought mine complete with the end link so it have proper 12mm stud end link. I would suggest...

If that is the setup that are recommended from Yellow Speed I would run it first before changing anything. Softer spring does not guarantee softer ride because the limited stroke on coil over might cause it to bottom out all the time instead. If you end up wanting better spring Swift makes...

I would not bother with adjustable end link. The preload are only necessary only if you going to corner weight the car. The mounting point on the coilover should be close enough if you set the height about the same anyway. BC are considered the better quality economy coil over. I just don't...

I end up with Tri-Point since I bought it used pretty cheap and could not find stock MS3 that time. It was a good experiment and I should be able to recoup all my money when I resell it. My alignment are checked 3-4 months ago when I get new tires and its dead on. I got some more time with...

This is family car and stiffer is not the direction we want to take with this car. Plus the tire would never have the grip to match anyway. My alignment are stock since the camber/caster are not adjustable on this car.

The most common problem is the spring adjuster collar became frozen. You need to take them apart and lube/put antiseize to prevent this. Some are made with low quality alloy that they are eaten by road salts that are widely used to prevent road icing. I seen quite a few bargain coilover broke...

Replace my Tri-Point RSB with MS3 RSB over the weekend. I definitely miss the direct steering response from the bigger Tri-Point RSB. But its much safer on wet / snowy road. It have a lot less tendency to oversteer during tail braking. Being this is my wife's car the MS3 are better and safer for...

I live in Midwest Rustbelt and coilover definitely need more maintenance over here. If you live down south where there are no road salt it would last a lot longer. You do not need corner balance but essentially its the same as shock and strut option only with height adjustment. With corner...

phunky.buddha would be the expert with BC racing and what swaybar to use. I belief he use OEM MS3 RSB.
