Total Noob to Suspension, need advise

[In4am0sPuN]

Currently own a 2008 mzdspd 3. and about to hit 60k. driving in nyc I dont want to slam the car nor do I care for a 2 in plus drop.

My rear struts are blown, or on there way there. So i am looking into changing my struts. I did research and SenSen is a win, Did further research and found that the Eibach prokit w/ the SenSen is a great combo. It'll give me a decent drop for the look, while not sacrificing the ride quality. Does anyone currently have this set up and mind giving in some input.

Also, When changing my strut/shock and spring, what else Should I be changing? I just want to get all the parts needed before jumping into the change. bump stops, camber kit (if needed) etc etc.

i don't know anything about the sen sen shocks, but if they're a direct replacement for the stock struts/shocks, you should seriously consider upgrading. I've got the eibach prokits with koni yellows; like you, i didn't want an extreme drop and choppy ride. The koni's aren't cheap, but they're designed specifically for lowered cars so they won't blow like stock struts/shocks will.

is there a difference between Koni sport and Koni yellow?
