mazdaspeed struts for the mazda3

[blue3]

I am interested in getting a set , since i have been driving on my stock struts with an prokit drop for a year . I am just wondering what are your guys experience and opinions with theese struts

I think there are only a few members with the casholla that can afford to do this mod aka: JPAV8S4U

Whiteomega also has this set-up.

Ask him to take you for a spin in his hatch.

it's a pretty stiff ride; i definitely feel the bumps..gotta be careful on some of those driveways too

i'm running the speed springs and shocks (which should be a similar drop and spring rate to the prokits-at least, that's what people say)

money well spent

[blue3]

do u still bottom with theee struts?

[blue3]

has the ride quality changed .. dampened less , got bouncy for the period that you guys have had them on ?
thnx

[whiteomega]

i haven't bottomed out yet; but i've also been careful to dodge as many potholes as i can, and take speed bumps and driveway ramps slowly.

the ride quality has suffered significantly with the struts; it's liveable for daily driving, and for reasonably long commutes. it's not the greatest if you're looking for a comfortable ride for the missus or the kids.

i haven't had a problem yet with my setup. come to the meet tonight, i'll take you for a spin so you know what it feels like.

[Edit: the closest i've come to bottoming out so far, i think, is that annoying bump/hump/thing on warden ave. between 16th and major mac]

i will be there !!

[whiteomega]

damn man, sorry..i probably took off without telling you..i'm usually at the AA meets and sometimes the la paloma ones..bug me for a spin at either of those.
