I dont have a 6 but that was my understanding as well. Mazda didnt make lowering springs for the MS6, those are lowering springs for a reg 6 that will be the same as a MS6. You are getting the exact same springs put on your car that you already have...

I don't know if they're the same springs the car already came with but those were definately made for the regular 6, not the MS6, so they might be stiffer and lower for a reg. 6, but you might not notice too much of a difference, if any, on the MS6.

Tunersteve can set this straight. He went with H&R because Mazda DOES NOT make lowering springs for the speed6. If you get Mazdaspeed springs for a 6 they are the OEM springs already on the Mazdaspeed 6. They will lower a reg 6 1.2/1.5 I beleive but do nothing for a MS6. Same as a Mazda3 putting OEM mazdaspeed3 springs on, lowered.
Mazdaspeed springs are meant for the regular 6. I don't think the spring rates even match the stock ones for the Speed6. For sure the drop will be greater due to the greater weight of a Speed6. Sorry to say this but your car isn't going to handle very well. If your dealer told you these were made for your car, he is an idiot.
There is a sticky in this section about lowering options. Everyone with questions about mods for their car should always look for stickies first, there is a lot of hard-earned info in them and it can save you a lot of time, money and effort.

Your only MS6-SPECIFIC spring options are the H&Rs and the RPM Street/Sport. A lot of other companies will say they work, but they are just the 6 springs.
As previously stated, there is a thread about the options available.

the springs are on back order I'll keep you guy's posted! but who ever posted that they dont make Mazdaspeed lowering springs for a Masdspeed6 was right they must be for the reg 6. I'm gonna put em on anyway. worst case senario the dealer HAS to take them back lol! They sold me the wrong springs lol!
Umm...no.
OEM Mazdaspeed6 springs have a totally different part number than Mazdaspeed accessory springs. In fact, mounting OEM MS6 springs on the regular 6 will retain the stock height, except with a 20-30% stiffer spring rate. Heck, some say that the car rides higher because of the higher spring rates.

I know this was posted a few weeks ago but I have Mazdaspeed springs..from my understanding is that they were meant for the V6, they do fit it and it rides fine but it is lower than what the specs say they are, which I'm assuming is cause of the extra weight. I can't complain and I have no handling problems at all.
Finally
It took the dealer about a week to get the springs, and it took me about a week to find the time to bring my car in, Finally there done! Here is a quick pick i took with my IPhone.

The pic sucks but I love the Drop! no Rubbing no Bottoming out, and It corners Amazingly! Installed, springs and all, It only cost me $500. The parts are warranty-able and my Manufacture's Warranty is not affected!
SCORE!

I'm interested to see how these hold up and if you bottom out at all with the added weight.
