i plan on daily driving my car, but on weekends auto-x'ing the crap out of it come spring time. what would be an awesome set of springs to put in my car? i don't want the car to be dropped past 1 3/4 or so all around. i like subtle and high performance. i heard around here the autoexe low down springs would be what i might want...but i'd rather hear from others on their opinions. i just want it to handle better than it already does.

I have the Auto-exe Low Down springs and I auto-x mine and they made a huge difference. I ran 6 or 7 events before I got the springs and only one after and it was like driving a whole new car for that last event. It made me mad that the season was over. The car is MUCH more responsive now, and a bit rougher ride quality. The drop was between 1 1/2" and 2". I live in the midwest and 6"+ of snow might be a problem. I do have to be careful about some parking lots I will bottom out the front end if I go in or out of certain places but the better handling and more responsive steering is worth the trade.

Street Unit and RPM both have springs coming soon for the MS6. H&R does as well. Hopefully by March you we will have several choices.

They are made special for the SPEED6. They are JDM parts and require a long lead time for ordering, unless corksport has them in stock. They had to order all my Auto-exe parts and they took a month to get in. But all were well worth the wait.

Info from a long time reputable Mazda suspension expert is that Autoexe buys their springs from the same place RB does except they charge 100% more. I'd wait if I were you. I mean c'mon, $70 for wipers?

well i hope the upcoming newcomer springs to the market are well suit for some fast turning. autoexe's prices on springs don't seem too too bad. i guess we'll just have to wait for some good competition to come out.

What kind of spring rate do we want for a MS6?

From what I'm reading the MS6 springs that RPM is developing would be a pretty good setup, particularly the one matched with Koni yellows. I'm waiting for more info on SU's springs.

Nice. RPM is actually looking at rates that work well with a specific shock?

i plan on runnin on the stock shocks, which is why i dont care much about the whole lowering part, just a nasty spring rate for auto-x.
