I forgot to take an before picture but I mean it was obviously really high with stock suspension. This is no adjustments just straight out of the box and have tons of flexibility to drop even more. +1 on BCs

I was thinking to go to coilovers this year ...I would love feedback on the 3 below. I saw that someone is using ISC (basic ?) and hates and ISC N1 and loves them ...
1. ISC N1 Street or Race valving (selling for $1500 CDN tax in )
2. Track One (Is https://trackoneengineering.com/ As far as i can see these made by K Tune & K2 coilovers too) $1245.83 CDN tax in
3. XYZ Racing (Taiwan designed and made from street to all types of racing ) They start at $1300 cdn +ship+duty+tax
4. Silvers Neosilver (taiwan ) $1752 CDN tax in
4. Goodspeed MonoMaxx (these are taiwan made others are china made) $1380 tax in CDN
5. Neo MotorSport Type AA These are all aluminum (taiwan/china components i think?) $1712 CDN tax in
I would love the KSport Kontrol 2 way but they are to much $$
KW V3
2010 Black Mazdaspeed 3 - Lightly modded
Geez Boy....I know the KW V3 rock !! but cannot see myself paying $3K+ new for these....Any one selling some on here ?
Im leaning towards the TRACK One ... Confirmed they are made by K-Tuned . Get those now and wait to source a used set of KW V3 and get them rebuilt.

add this one to the list :
6. WAT Suspensions. Classic type Coilover 57mm large tube design all aluminum https://www.watsuspension.com/classic-type.html
I think i found what can be a real competitor to the KW V3 and that is Fortune Auto (FA) are usa built. https://www.fortune-auto.ca/fortune-...323-protg-bj5w
The FA are rebuild able and can be rebuilt to 2 way or 3 way ... But presently no coilovers for the Mazda 3 platform... Huge But ..they are still in prototype phase and available soon!! I waiting.
Update:
1 st choice : Fortune Auto 500 series $2011 cdn tax in delivered
2. WAT suspensions $2200 cdn tax in delivered (57 mm monotube)
3. XYZ $1881 cdn tax in delivered (51.5 mm monotube)
4. Track One $1245 tax in delivered. cant find any tube specs prob 44mm-50mm
~ maybe starting a GoFundMe to raise funds for a set of KW V3 (only need 3K). Actually found a supplier for $3040 cdn tax in/ delivered.

Just an FYI :
For those considering the KW V3 . Last year KW was offering rebate to purchases made between March 1- May 31. https://www.bimmerworld.com/KW_Suspe...ebate_Form.pdf
$350 USD ($464 CDN) i presume.
Ok ...this is starting to be like a bad nitemare or a crazy ex i can t let go for some reason ...lol Every time i start reading more reviews about coilovers i find another interesting performing and priced coilover.
So my list starting to grow change again & again.....
Update:
1. KW V3 ... if they have a $350 usd rebate like last year ..i want these. (Germany, fully rebuildable)
2. Fortune Auto 500 series ??$2011 cdn tax in delivered...will be available in proto testing stage (USA assembled & tested, rebuild able)
3. Ceika about $2000 cdn tax delivered (UK company ..Custom made to your specs , Taiwan , rebuildable)
4. XYZ $1881 cdn tax in delivered (51.5 mm monotube) very popular in Australia racing
5. WAT suspensions $2200 cdn tax in delivered (57 mm monotube)
4&5 is dealing directly with the manufacturer
Thanks TM3 for letting me vent and be my therapist ... I feel much better now

For those interested in Fortune Auto Coilovers
" testing 2010-2013 MazdaSpeed 3 suspension currently. If everything works out it should be in production in about a month. "
and Should fit all Mazda 3 BL.

UPDATE :
Sorry Ami ...not going with the KW V3. Maybe i will consider a 2 way or 3 way after i get bored with this set.
I found a nice deal and I went with a set of the Neo Motorsport Type AA (ultra light) https://www.neo-motorsport.com/colle...12305634852943. Assembled in Ontario. They list at $1728cdn on their website...got them on Tdot for $1426.
Once i get the coilovers on I will sell my Corksport lowering springs and dampeners.
Springs : https://corksport.com/corksport-mazd...pring-set.html
Dampeners : https://corksport.com/corksport-mazd...nd-shocks.html
Let me know if interested.

Thanks!! Ya im looking forward to getting them next week. Although on winter tires its a good way to let them to settle in .
I do still prefer the Fortune Auto (FA) over the KW ... The price point is less that the KW V3 but the FA entry level series 500 can rebuilt to 2 way
but the KW V3 can also be rebuilt and great warranty too.
Ok ...last Update from me on this subject on what i think is a good $$ for product for a daily and some track and alot of track .
The list has changed after reading product descriptions, reading more products reviews/feedback and contacting company reps.
I was able to get a great deal on the NEO Motorsport Type AA . My mechanic has worked with NEO and has done some Drift car builds for Neo Motorsport and other cars using Neo's.
Plus Neo Motorsport ..they are local ...30 min drive.. Bolton with their own shop for Coilover and big brake install.
Fortune Auto I still love (only for Speed & Mazda 3 hatch)
Fortune Auto series 510 $2100 usd ( the tech that is in the 510) which are rebuildable to a 2 way or 3 way. (they are not cheap)
https://fortune-auto.com/coilovers/510series/ .... Series 500 are very nice too (1400 USD)
OHLIN ..wtf ...why dont you make a set for Mazda 3's ....
If you are planning to spend $2000 usd + you should consider and want that track performance to rock and want it also on your daily drive
