Help please deciding on which way to go on lowering supsension. I want to lower the car but keep the stock ride as much as possible.

How is the ride with Mazdaspeed springs and shocks?

How is the ride with ________ springs and OEM shocks?

Should I consider coilovers?

Last question: Is there any available adjustables springs?

Greatly appreicated for all the help in advance.

1) If you want to keep the stock ride as much as possible, MS springs/shocks is an ok way to go. The height is not much of a drop either.
2) Aftermarket springs and OEM shocks are the worst way to go. Eventually, you'll have to change the shocks to aftermarket ones.
3) You should consider coilovers if you want to adjust ride height/stiffness. There are some good information on this forum about them.
4) I believe there are no adjustable springs.

I've got 30k miles on S techs. The drop is great and the ride isn't harsh at all. Just remember to have the alignment done.

Question: If i get mazdaspeed springs, I have to get mazdaspeed struts at the same time right? Do I also need to get mazdaspeed shocks or can i go stock?

Also, best/cheap place to buy these parts?

Thanks for all the help.
