Usually that's reversed, Koni dampers with Mazdaspeed springs. Not sure what possible rationale you have to be doing it this way.

If my math is right mazdaparts is charging you $804.84 for F/R shocks, and F/R tower braces. If you buy from http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...&subcat1=78682 all that will cost $744 with free shipping.

Agreed go with the Koni's they are far superior to the MazdaSpeed Shocks and cheaper as well, I would suggest MS springs too but if you want a SLIGHTLY more comforable of a ride versus MARGINALLY better performance go with RB.

Don't you have to remove the rear Konis for adjustment. If so what's the point?

Indeed you do, (only for the rears) unless you plan to have them converted to external adjuster which is expensive.

But the point is they are THAT much better and thats why the majority of people buy them over MS.

Beside that most people consult with somone who has tested them before placing them in the car and get a recommendation for what rebound setting they should run in the rear. ULLOSE (national B-Stock AutoCross Camp) runs Konis all around and would be a great person to get such a tip from.

Your not going to be able to tell the difference between adjustment settings on the street unless you are driving unsafe anyway.
