Will Mazdaspeed shocks & TEIN S-TECHS be a good combination, the combo will be under $600, but I've never heard anything about the MS shocks.
I was originally looking just for more of an aggressive look and to lower the gap, but I'm a pretty hard core driver and figured the stock shocks will get destroyed quickly, will this be a better combo? Will this be an improvement from the stock suspension?

Thank you

my car is running on mazdaspeed shocks and springs, but i dont like the drop (love the handling but i dont like the drop)

im waiting for s-tech spring arrive, and ill go change springs only, dont shocks

when ill get the stuff , ill tell about handlind differences

Ok, thanks

What do you not like about the drop? Too much or too little for your tastes? I'm on the original springs/shocks, but debating wether to get the MS ones.

because i only got 0.5 inch front and rear

i want a major drop in the front because the rear seems lower than the front (visual effect because the drop is the same for both)

How much do you pay for installation? Want to know before order....

Thanks.

If you pay more than $250 you are getting ripped off. I did it for a local guy for $75

and how much for sway bars (rear and front) installation?

Thanks.

umm, you should pay the $25 to get the tools to do that yourself. seriously.

So it's not neccesary to do both jobs at the same time?

Thanks.

not really but when you are doing springs/struts you have to disconnect the sway bar end link. it should take no more than about 5 extra minutes to do the rear bar. Front bar shouldn't be too bad either.

i payed 130 € for sway bars and suspension install, but here, in Spain. i think cant help you about that :p:

the most complicated is the front sway bar because is deep and need dismount some stuff more



P.D.: :scared: sorry about my english

I have s-tech now with stock shocks and have ordered the Mazdaspeed shocks today. Will hopefully will be able to install them by the end of the week and will let you know how the ms shocks/s-tech compares to stock shocks/s-tech setup.
