I'm pretty sure the stock sport suspension on the type-s vehicle is not the mazdaspeed shocks & springs

Its NOT the MS springs and shocks. They are a sport tuned suspension, but is still a stock set-up for every day driving

oh thanks....i guess the so-called sports suspension is not really a big difference......:)

probably the same as the springs/shcoks on the GT models in the US. its a bit lower than the non gt models but not really a major difference to it.
if it is MS youll be able to see the blue shocks and silver coils if u look at the rear setup through the wheel spokes. its very easy to see. Should look like this...
