hmmm interesting... I wonder if it's similar to the K-sport/D2/XYZ variants... anybody used these?

Also I see they have a front sway bar... I wonder if it is any better than OEM? There's no specs on it...

I have heard that the rear bar is need replacement for better handling(White line suspension!!).The front does not need change..You might notice no difference.

[Mooneggs]

well there was a mazdaspeed front sway bar available... I wonder if the only difference was the bushings that hold it. I'm not sure if the rear mazdaspeed sway bar was equivalent to the 22mm solid whiteline bar?

Cool find, maybe we'll hear some good feedback out of it. I'll go the coilover route when I redo my suspension... I just really want to know what I'm getting myself into first.

Really? Cool! Didn't know that.

both great deals! I wonder if the coilover kit comes with camber plates. If not, they are only $160 from ksport for all 4

They look kinda cheep, but for 400 bucks... I have heard of godspeed brand in Ebay Turbos, but that's it. They are decent turbos from what i understand.

I just dont like a coilover setup without a preload spring.

Mazdaspeed did in fact have a front and a rear sway for the MX. the rear was either 21mm or 22mm solid bar painted in a lime green kind of color. I don't remember what size the front was though. I thought whiteline had a front back in the day too. maybe not

Moon: do you have a MS brochure with the specs?

Are you kidding me? why ask moon if he does? He has like every mazda book, part, prototype for the mx3. He is a walking parts bin.

^^^That's why I asked^^^

Probably old news(at least to MoonEggs haha ;P), but some of you might be interested anyway: http://www.clubprotege.com/wil/tech/whi ... atalog.htm

painted in a lime green kind of color.

Wasn't the MS struts painted that color too?

[Josh]

Yep, the sways were kinda flatter in color, I do know of one person who has a MS rear sway.
I have been watching ebay for some time to see if any show up on there or MS strut tower bars...

[Mooneggs]

Yeah Josh is right, the sway bars are more of a minty flat green whereas the struts were like a lime shiny green. The specs are all in Japanese!

Blake I had not seen that link before... that makes me want to get one of those front swaybars just to see if it would fit... 24mm is super beefy though!

I would think that with a GS and for sure with a 2.5 swap, it would be a lot better than with a RS.

I am thinking about it. With the AWD it might help. I am going to a GTR rear sway that is like 20 or 21MM solid though and it might be nice to use a bigger front.
