MS6 coil-over suspensions?

[MS6Future]

Is there anyone currently distributing a coil-over suspension specific to the MS6? I noticed that Tein has kits for the 6, but none of them are specific to the MS6. Or is there are interchange like systems designed for the V6, or are the kits supposed to be MS6 specific?

Thanks in advance.

i can't answer your exact question, but i can give you some related info.

Previous Mazda's that came in both FWD and AWD (i.e. 323/Protege) could use the same struts/springs. Now, seeing as the MZ6 and MS6 aren't as sibling as the FWD/AWD 323/Protege's were, this may be moot.

IF they do fit, i'd assume the spring rates would need to be higher due to the extra drivetrain weight. They do look very similar...

Here's a pic of the MS6 chassis:

As for TEIN coilovers...sedan/hatch/wagon all share the same part number and spring rates.

I'm not sure. I know that there is one company that specifically has springs for the MS6...can't remember the name thought. Mazdasport magazine says to go with the HKS LS coilovers as they are adjustable without removing the suspension.

If you guys are interested in having some developed, put ur name on the list for the B&G suspension thread i made

If you put the springs from the 6 wagon on they work vary well. But if you lower the car you should replace the dampers. These work well http://www.meganracing.com/products/product_detail.asp?prodid=235&catid=47


I would follow these instructions too http://flaminsuds.tripod.com/id5.html


This is the look when it is all said and done.
