just a quick question for those of you who might have an opinion on this matter, should i go for the mazdaspeed strut bars / springs or the racing beat?

hmm i liek the racing beat sway bars myself...a lill larger and stronger than the ms ones. not sure the specs on the springs tough i knwo the ms ones lower the car more than the rb ones..but rb found that any more than a 1/2 drop isn't benifical to teh handling (with stock shocks). i do knwo the ms shocks add 25% dampenign over teh stock ones if you were going to switch out your stock shocks i'd go ms springs b/c they were made for their shocks.

hmm so in conclusion i'd go rb for sway bars..and ms for shocks/springs...if you aren't gonna do shocks then it's a toss up in my book. both are abotu the same price for springs only. but i hear koni is coming out with some goodies for our baby. sp you might want to hold off on any springs shocks decisions. just my .02 hope i helped out at least a lill bit.:D

What army_rx8 said :)

I have the complete MS setup - it handles pretty nice I must say. No particular reason I guess, but I like the drop it gave me.
