Noice

[PUR157]

Very nice... looks like how it should have come from factory...!

What did you do? Lower Springs? Coilovers?

[marvis]

Looks good. What did you get done?

marvis.

Eibach Pro-kit..?

Nice. What PUR157 said.

- Whiteline front swaybar
- Whiteline rear swaybar
- Eibach pro kit

Thanks to @ndrew's advice I ended up only paying like $284 delivered to my door from the USA, comapred to $600 in Australia.

Handles like it's on rails, with no significant discomforts on roads! A highly recommended combination for those thinking in this direction. Very happy!

Also of note, the DSC cuts in less than before all suspension mods. Maybe the flattening out of the ride, lessened rolls, have made the ride more predicatable? Not sure.

Good to hear! Honestly stock NC looks embarrassing with its 4wd ride height, I should have done this earlier.

My eibach sways will be arriving in a few days so I’m looking forward to a further handling improvement.

I'm sort of surprised that you can't 'option up' the car suspension-wise. Subaru offers this (or at least used to). Evven it was Mazdaspeed, sure it wouldn't be cheap, but at least you'd get an option.

Mazdaspeed suspension parts (ie springs and sway bars) are available from the spares counter in US Mazda dealerships. But Mazda Aus doesn't want to know anything about Mazdaspeed products.

Likewise, you can option the adjustable Bilsteins from UK dealerships.

I have found the same with my NC with TEIN Super Street now installed. Particularly, say, when accelerating with lock from an intersection, for example.
If your new setup is making more use of the available traction, then i guess this is to be expected.
