okay, i dont like my king springs on stock suspension.

Its been 1000kms on them. The ride is hard and stiff and when you go over bumps and pots in the ground u judder.

Ive been on 2 black spur/reefton runs and the car doesnt seem to dampen well and when i take on corners i find it skidding around.

Im going to put back my stock springs, do the spur again and see what it's like. Might have to get some bilstein pss9 or tein SS adjustables!

let us know the results - im sure when u go back to the stock standards it will feel fine without the bone jarring when hitting bumps

The Eibach springs finally arrived, after more than 2 months of waiting. Early impressions are very positive, less body roll to some extent, looks great, less nosedive under brakes. I do notice slightly heavier steering, so I might get a suspension shop to check out the alignment. The spring fitting and alignment was done by my local Mazda dealer same day as my 6 month service, I gave them the Mazdaspeed spring fitiing and alignment instructions, so it should be okay... Will be nice to verify, though
