    Default Calling all Racing Beat Spring owners

    Hi there, I don't post much here (usually on ottawamazda.ca)

    But I am wondering if any of you have the Racing Beat springs.

    If you do, are you experiencing premature wear of surrounding suspension parts?
    (like... more wear than people running lower springs such as the prokits)

    I have a 2007 hatch with about 78,000km on it. And so far, I've needed to replace both rear shocks (common) one front strut. And apparently my camber link bushings are going according to the dealership. The car hasn't steered straight for about 6 months, alignment didn't do anything and now the best rear toe alignment they seem to be able to is 0.11, so maybe the trailing arm bushings are bad too (although i had gabbygenier drive my car and he seems to think my bushings are fine)

    IE. are these springs known to destroy the car? I'm the only one on my local board that has they and they all think i'm crazy!

    had the RB springs for a few years (driven for approx 70,000 kms) and never had any problems with alignment or premature wear; granted i did pair them with the Mazdaspeed Accessory struts, there weren't any issues with bushings.

    We think you're crazy because you are crazy man.

    Take it to a BETTER shop than Kanata and see what they say. Talk to Ralf/Phil at CT Carling, they'll figure this shit out for you.

    I've only had mine on (paired with Mazdaspeed Shocks & Struts as well) for a few months. Car feels really good and no issues yet. I also have the Mazdaspeed Accessory Sways installed. Car drives like a dream right now.
