After debating about springs for my ride, I have just order a set. I went with racing beat because the drop is only minimal and they are a very well known company for tuning and testing Mazda's for the best performace gains.
I bought the package which includes the spring kit and both sway bars. I also bought the end links too for the front sway bar. All in was $560.00 plus shipping to Michigan ( out of state orders -- no taxes ). I have a very close friend who alows me to use his credit card and house for shipping stuff. Oh and a 50 X 200 ft heated beautiful personal garage with all the toys inc. a hoist!!!!!! And about 600 000 in nice cars!!

^^ Tee hee hee....

You will love the swaybars. Racingbeat makes some kickass parts. FYI, you might get some really bad clunking with your rsb. To test, when the car is on the ground climb under the rear and try to shake the hell out of the bar. I had a good 1/4 inch of play front to back. This is a common issue with the Racingbeat RSB. In fact, there is a very lengthy thread on m3f about it.

Really? I've had absolutely no problems with my RB rear bar. Best mod I've ever done.

Yep. Mine clunked like a mofo. RB even sent me new bushing for free, but that didn't do anything to fix the clunk. The fix I found on m3f is to put sheets of cork between the bushing and the car. I'm running electrical tape around the bar inside the bushing; which has the same effect as the corkboard.

Last year I tried to get my hands on the Energy Suspension bushing / brackets, but apparently these were completely sold out in North America.

Did your car have weight on it when you installed the bar? Some guys seem to have had better luck with weight on the suspension.

But then again, I did it with the car on jack stands and no problems. Who knows.

No, my car was on the lift. Weird. This is still an awesome mod though.
