Struts and Springs/Coilovers

[Neil]

Ok before anyone yells at me i did do a search but i didnt find the answer in any of the other posts i looked at.. So i understand that with Lowering springs they only drop to what they're set at. And the ground control coilovers are adjustable.. Now i dont know anything when it comes to struts/springs etc. So now my question is what struts on the mx3 do you change when you get coilovers/lowering springs? Im sorry that this is a newbie question but i wanted to know. And what struts would go good with the ground control coilovers?

Forgot, ive got a 96 GS if that makes a difference when choosing struts.

Any struts by Tokico, Mazdaspeed,or Koni would go good with GC coils but if you wanna save money then call a ford dealer and order the struts for a ZX2, they are made my tokico and are cheap... theres a posting called \"strut questions".. go to it and it lists all part numbers for what you need - Just for **** sakes stay away from KYB struts and dropzones (shudder)

Cool i printed that off and im going to look into that. Now if i dont get Ground Control coilovers. Will the ZX2 struts work good on Eibach springs? Im only looking for a 1 or 1.5 drop.

If you only want a 1-1.5 inch drop don't waste money on coilovers, buy H&R springs. They are like ~1.5 front ~1.3 rear drop. H&R springs are better than the eibach springs for our cars (my opinion, but I doubt you'll see any argument). I think they cost less too, like $200 from corksport. The Eibachs are like $250 aren't they?

I agree.. ive got H&Rs on my mx and they are damn good springs and will go well with ZX2 struts
