WTB: Mazdaspeed A-spec strut with Mazdaspeed b-Spec springs

[yangsui]

If i do not find these i will order custom rate coilover sleeves like the ground control

The B-spec springs are made by Eibach right? Ground Control coilover sleeves use Eibach springs.

Specs according to ProtegeFAQ:

25mm drop
F: 26.5N/mm (2.7kgf/mm)
R: 15.7N/mm (1.6kgf/mm)

Too lazy to do the conversion.

yes b-spec are made by eibach and yes ground control use Eibach springs

the spec give Front 247 and rear 213

Coil sleeves are NOT the way to go IMO. Get yourself some proper springs. If iON can't get you them anymore I'll give you a hint and say look up a company called "King Springs."

i came across a pair of the front mazdapseed struts, the green ones that are adjustable, the guy is selling them for 200 bucks...no rears though...

thank you for the hint, i will look into that, i would prefer not to use ground control sleeve ... is there a company that will make the spring with the spring rate you want for the car you want ?

thank you, i jave decided to not go that way because i can get similar result with illuminas and they have warranty

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Like I said, look up King Springs.

 

[jf.houde]

just an update, my b-spec springs are ordered, my illuminas will follow shortly

thanks for your help

 

[yudkib]

how much were the springs??

 

[jf.houde]

550

 

[yangsui]

^That's a lot for springs but not a bad price for exclusivity and bragging rights

Pics when you get them!

 

[jf.houde]

yes its a bit high but its exlcusive, i am probably the only owner in quebec here, and since i didnt want coilovers this is the best alternative, ill post pics for sure

i just wish they will be what i am looking for, right now im on espilir wich are very good too ...

They handle great but don't expect too much of a drop. On my MSP, it's only a little lower than stock, which is more practical for a daily driver anyway. Right now, I don't even have the sway bars hooked up (waiting on new bushings and AWR endlinks) but the car corners very nicely. If you're looking for handling, you won't be disappointed.

 

[jf.houde]

cool, because i am not looking for a drop, but for better handling, im glad with what you are saying. I guess they drop a bit less than the progress? because i very like the drop but like I said, handling is more important

I'm on espelirs and illuminas. I love the fact that it rides better than both of my other vehicles when I set it to totally soft and she screams around corners when the struts are set to hard. Drop was negligible

What are the spring rates on the B-Spec?
