My thoughts and concerns exactly. I want the best of both worlds.. nice aggressive drop and a quality ride. My wife will also be a judge on this which is the only reason i'm being so picky.. otherwise i'd have gone H&R drop a long time ago. Derrick posted that they too are going for a drop of around 1.5, so why not just pair these with the h&R springs? same drop. the only think i can think of is that they are going for a different spring rate. just speculating as we await more news.

We wanted people to be able to use the dampers with any of the springs on the market so they would not be totally dependant on the springs (stock springs too). We are tailoring the springs to be optimum with the dampers though. I was able to find a happy point to set the H&R springs with the dampers in the adjustment range they offer.

Could corksport tie up the details of the shocks with fatcat so we can have some nice replacements (especially as they are not available as parts from mazda, you have to buy the whole strut!!!)
Thank you

Okay, so I am a little confused. I see that the project is coming along fine with a nice little pack of options. NOW, I am wondering if and when they will come out this year and what would be the final price range (dampers, springs, combo, etc.)? Thank Derrick!!!!

3-4 months is the best estimate I can give for the dampers. Springs are still an unknown date.

If you are sneaky you could stop by the local Mazda dealership, Jack up the B-Spec car in their display and steal the pre-production set off the car. Might be tough to get the jack in showroom with triggering suspicion though.

Haha very funny.. as if you guys haven't teased me long enough already... do you understand how bad I need to lower my 2? Hmmm.. just need an alibi.... haha

Hey Derrick. I know that Corksport sells Tein and H & R, but will you be expanding your coil inventory for when the dampers are ready?

What other brand do you want to see? We don't have plans to except our own brand right now.

Eibach, Racing Beat, Skunk2 (if they ever look into the 2). I know you're going for the universal approach, just thought it might be easier to do the one stop shopping gig.

Its not very likely that we will add those brands to our catalog. We have been focusing on building more of our own parts than offering other companies.
