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


MazdaSpeed makes some.

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

Tein and KSport both make adjustable coilovers for MX-3.

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..

$1300 from the main site. A bit much.
