mazdaspeed suspension

does anyone know if the mazdaspeed shocks have the same dimension as the oem shocks? in other words, can the mazdaspeed springs be put on without changing the shocks? i have been looking to lower the car put really do not want to spend the extra five hundred bucks to change shocks that only have a couple of thousand miles on them.

if you don't want to spend too much money i would say to get the racingbeat springs drops it 1/2" and works with the stock shocks...but if you plan to get the mazdaspeed i would have to tell you to get the shocks as well

Somebody already went down that path - MS springs need MS shocks. It's well documented on this forum.

Yea, really recommend MS springs + MS shocks. It worth the money. Looks good with moderate low down and the steering feel gets much better. Only changing spring may result bumpy ride.

That would be me. I would not recommend getting the springs unless you get the shocks with them. After a week of driving with just the springs I ordered the shocks. Thank God they were not on backorder.
