guys already... the ride is freakin great... ive heard people sayin that the ride is too stiff and bumpy, but it really isnt at all. I dnt know if its jus me n i dnt mind it but it feels great. and the cornering!!! especially with my 245's on...man, im like seriously blown away. its like after i take a turn hard... i think back sayin i could have gone faster... lol its seriously like that, im sooo satisfied... no i jus want it to settle and get lower... my 8 grabs the road like never before!!!

can the mazdaspeed shocks take the spring ratio of the s-techs? i think you're the first person on the board w/ this combo. the majority of the board seems to be going w/ the konis. i was thinking of getting those myself but the mazdaspeeds could save me about 100 bucks... any opinions guys?
