Swift Spec-R (http://www.swiftsprings.com/products-ss_spec_r.html) (I'd go for these)

Tein S-Tech (http://www.tein.com/price/mazda.html)

Cobb is probably your best bet.

Cobb is probably your best bet.

I know. I thought I saw them here (not even sure if the place is good or not) but for some reason you can't even add them to the cart.

Next option might be prokits.

Yeah, if one pops up in the classifieds I'll fight you for it! :chuckle

Last one I saw was months ago and JDM got it. Was gonna snag it for myself but I was just too nice.

Your best bet would probably be pro-kits then if you're just looking for a drop and not stiff spring rate. If you want stiffer spring rates, Corksport, Swift (I believe), Mazdaspeed to name a few.

sell your speed right now....


least drop are Cobb springs. Swift and Pro-kits will drop your gen1 speed more than you think. At least they dropped mine and fack_dude's quite a bit...

but then again my car is the anti-Christ

[funkdupspeed3]

i want performance lol. but just want a mild drop

[loki]

i want performance lol. but just want a mild drop

go with swift, but you'll have to drop around $320

I'll sell you my first gen prokits. Just gotta wait next week :)

Oops didn't read. Go with Cobb

Yeah, slim pickins... Cobb springs are now in the archives and are only attainable by special request from the car gods. :chuckle

over-rated if you ask me. For some reason at one point everyone wanted them.

oh well

[leecheefoto]

Orrrrrr just go with coilovers in case you change your mind and want a lower drop

Yup, I think it's because they don't make them anymore that makes people want them more. Ironic! :chuckle

Great odins raven, you're over rated. Only thing that compares to Cobb spings is KW V3's.

[Thrizzl3]

just buy a new set of MS3 prokits and be done with it! lol

Hahahaha..... anchor man.....

[Smykee]

By the beard of Zeus! Can anyone offer a comparison between swift and prokits? Trying to decide if swift is worth the extra coin...?

[funkdupspeed3]

How low did you drop with pro kits? i dont want to rub. i currently am running 18x8 with 235/40/18.

I went just as low with pro-kits. I actually switched to swift to see if that would help, and the drop ended up being pretty much the same

for whatever reason the pro-kits dropped my car and fack_dude's car quite a bit.

My tires are 235/40/18 but the +40 offset of my wheels was causing some problems. that has all been resolved now tho.
