NICE!!but on a speed 3 are those springs correct>?? thought they were for the regular 3 only... may not even give you a drop on the speed could raise it as they were a very slight drop on the reg 3

There is a MS3 specific spring kit now.

Are the Bilsteins tuned to work with the different rate of the MS3 springs?

awrracing told me they are more than enough for the ms3 springs...matter of facts he want me to get the even more aggressive rate springs....but i think that will be too stiff for daily drive....the bilstein is custom valved for the ms3

But being for the regular Mazda3, how can they also be valved for the MS3, or did you get custom ones?

Hmmm.. That looks vaguely familiar .... Nice MS3 I love seeing it in action @ SFR. BTW: How much did the revalved Bilsteins cost you? How do you like them compared to the stock units? And If you ran anything else before the bilsteins (like koni sports) how do they compare?

I got the H&R springs and Bilstein setup. Mine is more lowered than yours, but it doesnt scrape the ground now (compare for when I had hr and blown stock shocks, ehhehehe), ride is tolerable; even gf approved., no more bouncing, good on corners ( i noticed I can now corner at a higher speed than before) I will post pics when i get the chance to take it.
