Mazdaspeed shocks and springs. More like a 1" all around. The ride is a little stiffer but worth it for the better handling and looks. I do have a sqeek in the driver door (only on rough roads) now that could be a result of the stiffer ride. Can't say for sure though it could be normal wear and tear. Going to have the dealership take a look at it next scheduled maintenance.

I've had teins with oem shocks, runs just like stock except with 1.4 inch drop in front. Now I have jic coilovers, handling wise its a big difference, and ride is harsh to say the least.

^^^^ what he said.
The Racing Beat springs I have go 1/2" lower, which was enough for me.
Ride is stiffer than stock because of spring rate, but that is what I was looking for. By no means uncomfortable.
