MSP 3.5
Im wondering if anybody knows how those the MSP feels with adjustable Skunk2 coilovers? And also how low can you go before having to switch to adjustable endlinks? and how would i know whats the lowes i can drop the msp before i damage anything like the endlinks?
(shrug)
 
its not the endlinks you have to worry about its bottoming out the shocks and blowing them out. The skunk2 coils are going to ride like junk because the shocks dont have enough dampning to run them. I suggest saving your pennies and buying a nice adjustable coilover set like BC or an adjutable body tein (not ksport)
 
i just installed the ground control coilovers that use eibach springs and i couldn't be happier. the ride is almost as smooth as the stock setup, and works well with the stock tokico blues. just get a four wheel alignment afterwards obviously, and you're all set. ground control's product is a lot nicer and easier to work with as well. there's only one ring that opens with a hex screw for adjustment, not that two ring setup with bad aluminum wrenches that break and bend. i'd reccommend them before skunk2 anyday.

well besides the desing of the coilover(skunk2) and the fact that i cant drop it too much on the stock MSP struts. Can someone describe how is it that the car rides bad? to bumpy, no handle or what??? B-cuz im not concern about the installation, and just want to dropp the MSP around 2" the most. and also do they tend to break?

its all about the spring rates...like was stated go for the ground controls much much better option
 
hey not to thread jack im new to my msp and i was looking at skunk2 lowering springs for 150 shipped cant beat the price but was wondering is it one of those you get what you pay for?
 
with the sleeve coilovers, ull bounce around with two many rebounds once the shocks begin to wear out. ull also get noises. they definately shudnt break. wait aarent the MSP struts tokico blues? they shudnt be that weak against them.

id stay away from anthing skunk2 on a mazda besides their exhaust. the springs dont drop all that good neither. but if it was a honda...
 
worst possible "coilover" setup you can go with. i've had nothing but problems and when i finally get everything installed correctly, the front won't even sit lower than the S-Techs at the lowest point.

biggest regret/waste of money that i've spent on my car so far, easily.
