Coilover help

[shu5892001]

Konis are adjustable, if you don't lower too much (1.-1.5 inches) you can run them pretty soft. But if you lower like 2 inches, then you better set it stiff to prevent bottom outs

ST Coilovers are $1050 at Tirerack. I was thinking of going for those or the KW V1 ($400 more than the ST).

This.

Mine were setup fairly stiff but I am pretty used to lowered cars at this point (my truck before this had a terrible, terrible ride).

If there was a spring/shock setup the height I am at now I would switch to it probably...

Ok so you set them as firm, so thats why it was a bit harsh.
What do you think about me going with Prokits and Koni Sport (I think they are yellows)

Prokit + yellows are arguably one of the best combo for mazda 3, a well balance between appearance, practicality, performance, comfortness and reliability.

Reliabilty and comfort wins me over.

Then you want prokit and konis... nothing else lol. If you want a reliable system and a moderate drop

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Ya Prokits + Yellows is the easiest choice for this car that's why most people have it.

Met up with phil05gx. Nice ride, but too harsh for my liking. Love the drop on his car.
My mind is made up on Eibach Prokits on Koni Yellows.
