Eibach FINALLY is ready to release their Pro-Kit for the MS3!

Subbed!

I love the look of a lowered car, but I spend a lot of time on the road for work and don't want to make the ride less comfortable.
I have my Miata on coilovers for when I want to bruise my kidneys

These Eibachs sound like the ticket for my Speed.

You drive your Mazdaspeed for work! That is a job with awesome benefits knee!

 

[kneedragger241]

How 'bout it?!?!
I lucked out in finding practical and fun in one package.

 

[opt_ms3]

I wonder how these would compare to the mazdaspeed springs

 

[silversurfer513]

Subscribed. Wonder if Koni will pair these up with an FSD kit?

 

[mazpro]

great news, this sounds like it's going to be a great option for the MS3

A tuned spring and shock "cup kit" would be nice for those of use with limited $ and no desire to tweak suspension as much as coilovers allow.

Jared- count me in bro! It's time I slammed her.

 

[jwiist]

had them on my 05 altima se-r, I'm sold. Great springs from a great company!

 

[pointysticks]

so these springs will work with our stock shocks? i am so used to the sticker shock of buying parts for the 911SC. mazda hop up parts are so much price friendly. i can easily hide them from my wife's radar.

i will wait until sept.

lol, I had the same problem with my Audi TT, although those parts were also cheap in comparison to P-car parts.

indeed. they are perfectly matched to the stock dampers. the Pro-Kit ideal is to blend seamlessly with stock alignment equipment and dampers.

 

[ericrapp]

would you suggest any adjustable dampers that tie in to the rates and motion range of the Eibachs? it might be nice to get it All done while you are in there replacing bits. any thoughts from you or the engineers on this?, Built Hatch thanks

WHEN are these going to be available???

 

[mr_mazda329]

Why are the rates so soft? Those are the same rates for my miata.

they are over 30% stiffer than stock mazdaspeed3 springs when at the top of their progressive range. i don't know the nuances of miata suspensions, but i can assure you 30% stiffer than stock can't be considered soft (yes)

ericrapp, for further fine tuning, you surely could possibly use such dampers if they are available, however, the pro-kit is designed around the stock dampers, so, provided the stock dampers are in good condition, you will be fine using them.

kneedragger, they will be available sometime during the first week or so of September. If i can, i will annouce in here what forum sponsors will have them available since one particular forum sponsor will have them first and then distribute to others for your choice of purchase.

Stock rates for the miata are quite soft. Around 175lbs fr 130lbs r. I didn't know that that the stock rates for MS3 were that soft. I'm running 450lb fr 336lb r on the miata and it doesn't feel stiff anymore.

How much can the OEM shocks take? Will I need Better ones to handle the higher rates?

if you are referring to the ms3 dampers, eibach designed the pro-kit around the stock dampers. you'll be fine using them, as long as they are in good condition.

Who would be the Supplier with the best price on these springs when they become available..i.e. the usual spot to get Eibach goodies?

the thing with these kits is that there is a limited supply, atleast initially. Eibach did a rather small run, and there was one account that was instrumental in getting the kit made in the first place, so they will have dibs. they will then be able to supply your favorite outlets. i will actually have some names of which site sponsors will have these available when they are shipping.
