Eibach Pro Kits with Koni FSD

[DKaz]

I was thinking of getting this combo so I can get that lowered look and improved handling for me and good ride comfort for my wife. The only problem is that the only Pro Kit available is for the UK Mazda 5 which is 59kg lighter than the NA spec.

I had H&R Sport Springs for Mazda 3 on my 5 and yea it sagged. Of course the 5 is 230-365 kg heavier than the 3. I wonder if 59kg will be better or if I shouldn't take a chance? Of course the Koni FSDs will work best with stock springs but I would like to lower my car by an inch.

H&R have springs especially made for our 5.

I wanna give my wife a comfy ride though while giving me better performance. H&Rs are not compatible with Koni FSD... only OE and Eibach Pro Kit springs.

I guess I have other options...

H&R with Koni Yellows set at full soft
H&R with KYBs

You can go with coilovers too...

The combo shocks + springs isn't too far from the price of a full coilovers set up.

Blame marketing.
Both lower the car by virtually the same amount. (give or take a tenth) (eyeballs)

I've heard very very very good things about the Koni FSDs though.

Eibach for UK Mazda 5:

At $375 shipped it's not too bad, compared to AutoExE springs for Mazda 5 that are $500 + shipping.
