Question Where to buy MS Springs/Struts???

Where can I buy Mazdaspeed Springs/Struts combo online? I looked at a few places and cant find them...

Also, for anybody who has this combination... According to the specs, the front springs are supposed to be .5" lower than the rear. After you put the springs on and they settled, did you notice it even out, or is the front still lower?

Thanks!!!

I would definitely go to Rosenthal for my MS parts. I got my strut tower bar from them. Their prices are great, and their service was very good too. If you pay retail you are a fool.

I know that are cars have a significant gap difference from the factory. If the diffrerence after the springs is "1 finger", then i think we should be ok. If there was no difference after lowering the car, then that would mean our cars would be leaning very heavily in the front.


Everyone, thanks for the info on where to buy. I will check that out asap.

I just ordered my MS Springs/Shocks from Rosenthal Mazda. It came to...

$100 - Front Shocks (2)
$104 - Rear Shocks (2)
$258 - Set of Springs
$39 - Shipping to Dallas

Total came to about $700 for everything!!!

I'm so excited. I'll put up pics once there installed.
Now time to move onto Phase 2 which is... Intake (Racing Beat), Midpipe (Rotary Performance), Exhaust (Racing Beat)... Headers will come later.

Be careful, you do realize with a straight midpipe, and exhaust it is going to be VERY LOUD. There is no catalytic or resonator on that pipe. Congratulations on that setup. That will look real nice.

RP has a midpipe (no cat) and greddy cat-back. When I took a test-ride in it, it was not much louder until you are at the higher RPMs. I don't mind having a louder car as long as there is a perfomance benefit behind it. It may drive me nuts over time, but if it does... putting the catalytic converter back on is not very hard.
