What concept said about the shockies is true. It makes sense so I won't be replacing the springs.
The streets in Japan are excellent, with seriously NO potholes, and only minor bumps.
As for lighter wheels - I would like to have them, but I can't stand the looks of aftermarket wheels, it doesnt matter what they are. I love OEM stuff for some reason. So my wheels HAVE to be Mazda.
I'm in Japan, so I should have no trouble finding some great comfy coilovers. I mean, there must be heaps of stuff out there, the problem is finding it (language barrier).
Im not too worried about costs(within reason), but if I am going to do it, I want to do it ONCE only.
Just by replacing the wheels and tires I haven't lost any ride quality at all. That is after 5 months of Michellin X-ice on 16 inch wheels.
I got 225/40, Toyo DRBs (a bit noisier but that's what you get with slightly higher performance tires)
