04-09 Tein S-Techs on a 2010 Mz3

[pyro86]

Hey guys,

I know all about the search function - looked around but didnt find quite what i was lookign for.


Got a good deal on some s-techs for an 04-09 hatch, i drive a 2010 hatch. Now im pretty sure they fit, but i want to ask as a person whos never had a low car, are these going to be winter driveable?


Cheers, i look forward to hearing what you guys think!

I have prokits 1.5"ish but I know the 10+ are heavier so it will be abit lower then they say when people use 04-09 on a 10+ and I drive mine in the winter no problems

They will fit, however, some things to consider:
-2010+ MZ3s are heaver than first gens, so given the same springs, the car will sit lower
-S-techs are soft to begin with, so this fact will be exaggerated if you put then on a 2nd gen.

bumping an old thread.

looking at buying s techs tonight. will i have a more bumpy ride? the springs are meant for a gen2 so i think i should be fine? will look into konis once my stock struts fail

I've had s-tech's on 2 different Mazda's (MZ3 and MSP) and they've been really good. I barely noticed any change in the ride quality on either of the two cars. I think you'll be fine.

I have s-techs on my 07 hatch. i havent noticed much difference in comfortability, however driving through the winter was rough as it is with most lowered cars.
