Picture\'s will come

Bought them from the great guys at Tires23.com, wicked price great service,
just had them installed at Dave Wood Mazda, great service there, paid alittle more for install but in know they were done right , plus they found something wrong with one of my strut mounts(3200 km\'son the car) and that was fixed under warranty.
Got the car back it handles like a go-cart and the alignment was not off, but i am goin back to get one to be sure , dop is perfect, ride is stiffer but livable

will post pictures when i can find my cable to get them off my camera.

Thanks to
Tires23
and Dave Wood Mazda

very satisfied customer

Springs on stock shocks? Mind sharing how much the install price was? I\'m estimating between $130 to $150?

EDIT: What was the problem with the strut mount?

shocks will be replaced next season, going ot kill these ones first
i was waiting for someone to post that \"thread useless without pictures\"
but dont have cable

as for the install prices the price you quoted is low lets just leave it at that
was not cheap

and for the strut mount , did not ask only asked if i was being charged for it and iwas not so i did not care sorry for the lack of help, was too excited and could not wait to get in to the car

because our suspension has a euro style rear the amount of work is more involved and you are looking at about 150+ for the install, the most common price tends to be $200.

I got my springs and shocks installed at Motor Workshop Inc. for $150.

I installed my springs in my driveway...
The fronts took me about 1.5 hrs... and the rears were 30 mins..
The rears are extremely simple to change!!!

The \"Euro style rear\" only makes it easier!

If you change only the springs, any springs will feel bouncy after a year or 2. Lowering springs are stiffer then stock and will accelerate the wear on factory shocks. Any quality springs will have a lifetime guarantee, but the stock shocks do not. Some aftermarket shocks have lifetime guarantees as well!!


The stiffer the springs, the shorter the life will be of the factory shocks. the 1 or 2 year life estimate for the stock shocks might be a little short. they could last 3, 4, or 5 years. Only time will tell.

I plan on changing my shocks as soon as the ones I want become available.
