MZ6 V6 Springs Available

I will be interested when spring 2005 comes, right now it just aint worth doing anything to the car, fall is right around the corner and somehow I love driving peacefully and slow in the fall. But if you can please PM me your e-mail it would be a great thing to refer to when I am ready, I will also have a lot of questions.
 
Thanks for the suggestion, I posted in Mazda6club. I don't have a pass in 6tech though. Not asking for a endorsement but I thought you might post a reference please:)

Thanks
Dave
 
Hi guys,

I'm not familiar with these springs. What makes them stand out from Eibach, H&R, and Tanabe? They seem to be priced a little higher that the others, although not by much. Just wondering how they compare and what would make me want to spend another $10 or $20 on these over the other brands.

One big difference looks like the drop. Why would the rear drop be less than the front? Shouldn't that be the other way around?
 
Reason for the less drop in the rear is because these springs specifically make the car more level than others. Most Mazdas when dropped in the rear look like the rear is lower than the front. These springs specifically address that issue. The MZ6 is no exception, I lowered one recently and notably the rear looked lower than the front. I used a Eibach on the previous car. This is a new product to the market. They have been tested in Proteges and are a fairly good competition for EIbach and H&R.

Any photo's of an actual 6 with them installed out yet? I saw the white one in the ad, but it is hard to get a good feel for them. With that drop, will fenders have to be rolled with 18's?

Depends on the wheels, and no I currently don't have a picture of these springs installed. I am working on a tester now.:)

Yeah, Tim I like the ride of the Eibach's in the MZ6 but however they still are not real level. Not as bad as the Protege leveling though with the Eibachs.

very true but hey if you need a tester for any 6i products just let me know lol
 
The REAL benefit of having this combination of different front/rear springs is captured by the mazda6tech suspension guru, stretch ...

Really, this sounds like a best-of-both-worlds design. You get the Cg drop from lowering the side of the car with the engine. You get negative camber in the front. You get less roll resistance due to the suspension geometry in the front, yet get an overall spring rate increase for the car. All of these things should make for a fun-to-drive FWD vehicle. The progressive nature of the rear springs means you should get at least some of the benefits of progressive springs (cushy ride), yet their drawbacks will be less pronounced from only using them rear. In fact, progressive springs in the back would create a slight jacking force in the rear for possible (unpredictable?) oversteer on a corner entry.

Basically, everything about these springs has oversteer written on them, as best as I can tell without knowing the actual spring rates.
