Hey Guys,
I'm planning on purchasing the MS Springs/Struts soon (hopefully by august) and I'm just looking for feedback on how people like the ride. Like comfort/handling etc...
ANy feedback would be awesome....also sorry if there is a post like this already (i'm sure MGM will be first to point it out ;))
Also another question. Is it absolutely necessary to have an alignment done after lowering?

Are you asking about the OEM MSP3 struts and springs, or Mazdaspeed accessory struts and springs?

I have the accessory struts with prokits. There are many comments that prokits and mazdaspeed accessory springs are very similar.
I have to say that the strut/spring combo is pretty good. I expected the body roll to be less with this combo, so I was slightly disappointed in this regard. The combo has grown on me though, I like that I can feel the road, but still handle mild bumps fairly comfortably. The trade off for the body roll and softness over bumps is that all of my fillings are still in place :chuckle. My fiancee's bro cringes every time we hit a bump (he's rolling on Koni Yellows).
Also, depending on the ride quality you are looking for, a nice thick rear swaybar is a really good addition to this combo. It has eliminated most of the body roll.

Nah. They are FordMoCo branded. Its actually imprinted on shock/strut.
OP: These were discontinued a few years ago and you cannot buy these brand new anymore.
