Coilover's ... ?

Post by OutlaW »

Hello mx3 gang

Soon i had the chance to order something from a friend of mine.
He can get cheap aftermarket parts for many car's, and he said he could get the following:

Interior digital adjusted TEIN coilover set for my car.
They arrive monday, is he wrong about this ?

I just got Intrax springs and Monroe MacPherson Sensa-Trac struts. 1.75" drop (according to Intrax). Will be installing soon. They should really firm up the suspension :) It felt like the nose was going to hit the ground with my new brakes and tires whenever I decided to test the brakes.

intrax springs will not firm up anything over stock setup.

Eunos was a name for a marketing scheme for the "High End" of Mazda in the early to mid 90's.
Think Nissan is to Infiniti as Honda is to Acura

Same idea. Only it was only ever proposed on the other side of the ocean whereas Acura is only on this side of the ocean

for the rear mounts to fit ud probably need to drill one more hole on each side of your car or remove one of the studs or use your stock rear mounts
