I just got Mazdaspeed coilovers. I already had Hotchkis sway bars, Mazdaspeed/Rays wheels, and Michelin PS2 tires. The handling is fantastic--the excessive body roll and somewhat sluggish feel of the stock suspension are gone. The car reacts much quicker, holds the road better, and feels lighter. There's a lot less wheel hop under hard acceleration as well. Ride quality is still very good (I'm 2 click harder than the recommended damper settings for compression and 1 click harder on the front rebound) and isn't too harsh or bouncy at all.
Your ride is dope! Im def getting the coilovers over the springs
Thanks! I don't think you'll be disappointed with coilovers. (drive)

The RX-8 wheels on a MS3 look pretty damn good!

very nice drop!
are you at the lowest height on the coilovers or do you have more
threads to bring the height lower?

Hey Jrod, looks sick. I have been waiting for someone to put dubs on this car. How is the ride quality?
Thanks...
It was good till I lower it..... I can feel everything now, but I'm all about the looks and been stiff is better for hitting the curves if you know what i mean.

^ It really looks mean on those 20s. What wheels and tires are they? And how much did it cost for the wheels and tires? Also, you didn't happen to weigh them did you?
I have a local shop that does everything on my car, but from what I saw the rear bar install was easy while the front was not. I haven't adjusted my coilovers either, all done at the shop. From what I was shown front adjustment is easy (both compression and rebound) while the rear rebound adjustment basically requires removing the shock.
Looks great with 20's! How is the handling/braking, did you notice any differences?
