It seems like the first generation springs can be physically installed but they may provide a different drop than advertised since the 2010+ models are heavier. The suspensions are similar enough to use older model springs on your 2011 but I would be a bit concerned about the difference in weight between the cars, especially on softer, progressive rate springs like the progress springs.

They might work just fine but you'd have to buy them and see for yourself. It seems like not too many people have tried it yet.

Ya I'm not sure if I want to be the guinea pig. Im in debate over coils or springs right now thou. Coils maybe be more expensive initially, but after you replace the stock shocks then you only end up paying like $100 more for the ability to adjust the ride height.
I've got some thinking to do!

That's exactly why I went with coilovers.

wheels look great, i have the sportlines and have not done any work to the suspension since (besides the alignment).. def lower than the pro kit tho, no rub at all and ride is pretty good..

def digging the mudflaps, hopefully getting some after my tax return

are you going to have to get new shocks since you went with a 2.0 inch drop?

I sent them an email and they said they havent had anyone buy them so he couldn't tell me exactly

Tell them that you want to be the guinea pig and will give them the feedback they need to sell them to other people and maybe you get a big discount or even free. If they suck and don't work get another set from someone else, or go back to stock.

yes eventually, shock are still pretty good, but i'm a struggling college student attempting to save some mula for more suspension work lol

Stock shocks will still last a pretty long time if your roads are nice and if you dont completely beat on them

I have friends with first gen 3's with like 70k on there stockers and they are fine.

hey everyone! I have a suspension problem and would really appreciate some help. I have a 2007 mazda 3 with 78,000 miles on it. When I am driving on the highway and i hit a bump, no matter how big or small, my ass end feels like it wants to jump out from under me. Especially when going around a left curve. It feels like the whole ass end skips to the side. What should I replace? Again, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
