    [SoCal] Sachs Super Touring shocks and struts set for Gen1 Mazda3

    The fronts were replaced under warranty. The rears were tested within spec by Koni and returned to me. I don't remember exactly how many miles were on them. It's a lifetime, unlimited mileage warranty, anyway. None of them were leaking, but I could tell when I pulled the fronts that they weren't...

    [SoCal] Sachs Super Touring shocks and struts set for Gen1 Mazda3

    SOLD! Ran these on my girlfriend's 2009 Mazda3 2.0 i Touring for a few months while the Koni FSDs were out for warranty. They handled better than I was expecting for stock replacements. Pitch (braking, accelerating) and roll (turning) were well controlled. Road noise was well damped. And...

    Anyone know of any place that has koni struts in stock?

    FS: COBB Tuning Sport Springs for the MS3

    SOLD I had these installed on my car for only a few months and ~ 3000 miles. They worked great, the Speed3 cornered like a champ. With my daily commute,though, they just weren't for me. Cobb's description: Don't expect a huge drop with these springs. COBB claims a 1" drop front and...

    What kind/brand of oil do you use?

    I run Pennzoil Platinum 10W-30. Back when I was doing my first oil change I read on the forums that under oil analysis it was found to be of roughly the same viscosity as competing 5W-30's and to have good results following use in the MZR 2.3 DISI turbo. This may not be the most current...
