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.

 

sounds like that's a definate 4 for 4 change
