Are you saying you want adjustable coilovers? You already have aftermarket coilovers, but they are non-adjustable?

Mazdaspeed stopped making them and I don't think there are any left anywhere.

Tein and KSport both make adjustable coilovers for MX-3.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.
2007 Mazda3 GT Sport --- super fun
2004 Honda RC51 --- Lost forever to some theavin' bastard

Yea they should.

Tein don't make stuff for a mx3, AST, Hotbits, D2, Ksport is all you can do for a full body coilover.

However, you should be able to make ford probe tokico illuminas work for the mx3 with a few mods, they have a adjustable dampener or rebound. Do some research on it.

since u can make the illuminas from the probe fit, the teins should fit with the same mods.

regarding ksports..... anyone interested in ksports, i urge u to do a search with my board name and keyword "ksport" ive posted links to damper dynos that tripoint engineering did with ksports

I think that is what I am gonna do, and get rid of my zx2's.

Steeb, do you know if the valving in the illuminas is better then the zx2's? I am assuming it is. The zx2 fronts seem under valved for the GC's I have and the front end is somewhat bouncy..
