Hey guys, a bit of info first.
Car is gen2 NA 5dr GT. Currently sitting on OEM struts and lowered with gen2 prokits.
I expected the ride to be harsh when i lowered the car with OEM Struts.
So now, i am looking in getting KOni yellow and wondering what would be a best setting for them to improve ride quality (comfort) without sacrificing handling.
And if i get Gen1 Konis (used), will there be any fitment issue?
Please chime in specially if you have ran or running the same set up! thanks!

Gen2 prokits with gen2 koni yellows I'd recommend 50-60%. Just right based on many on this forum for dd. I have this setup and they are set at 60% stiff. Oh yeah, I got them from Alphamotorsports.

Gen2 prokits with gen1 koni yellows you will need longer bolts which can be purchased from a Mazda Parts department.
