Curious what spring rates folks are running on their coilovers, and what they like. Still daily driving, with periodic auto crossing. Mostly use it to drop off kids at daycare then working from home.
I think stock is 3.3kg/mm and I'm pretty sure what I got on these used coilovers is 12.5kg/mm which I'm finding far too rough, even at lowest damping.
Thinking maybe in the 6-8kg/mm range would be more up my alley. Thoughts?

hey guys can anyone tell me if 2008 mazda 6 18 rims will fit second gen speed without hitting calliper ?

Considering the rim is the outside edge of your wheel, you have some big issues if it's hitting the caliper ;)Quote:

MS3 sold, she will be missed.
Winter beater about to be purchased today hopefully.
What will you be getting? @pwdunmore
I miss my ms3, and regret selling it. Although I also love the cars I have now.
@KidRambo It's going to be a slow turd, nothing special... lolQuote:

Looks like the clutch master cylinder may have gone today. Clutch to the floor, didn't always come back up.
Luckily was right around the corner or the Mazda dealership. Was test driving the Toyota Highlander. Also drove the CX-9. Both really nice.

No chattering, sounds, or slipping. Definitely felt like a "hydraulic" problem so we'll see.
What is the typical cost for this type of fix? Anything else I should look at doing at the same time while things are torn apart?
Few hundred bucks on either side...nothing really else to do while you're in there. Slave is easy to get at, front of trans...master is down under behind battery/brake stuff in that area, bit more difficult. Make sure they have new seals, don't re-use the old ones.Quote:

Thanks. All stock here but in the 181k range so we'll see. Thanks for feedback.Quote:
