my GC's with ZX2 struts ride almost perfectly.
Of course if you buy cheap coilovers off ebay you never know what springrates you are going to get, they are usually pretty firm. Getting a OEM strut like KYB with these stiff coilovers isn't going to be a good combo. I bet your car rides bouncy and "feels softer" because of this, since the KYB's OEM-like valving wouldn't be able to keep up with the jounces of the stiffer spring.
Intrax's are soft, kyb's suit them b/c they are OEM replacements, so have fun with your soft, non-performance ride!
ST, Sprint, Eibach (in most cases), GC, H&R, B+G springs should use ZX2's b/c of their stiffer springrates....simple as that. I'm sure Intrax would work fine with them too.

are there any moderators on this site so that when posts become retarded they can be deleted?
We're all a bunch of people with mx3's, shouldn't we get along with each other?

no, because if it's deleted, the same silly ideas will resurface again and again.
This thread has a LOT of good information, if you can actually read.

Yes I can read and thats why I complained. I agree, there is a lot of good info, but it would be much more usefull if it wasn't cluttered with a bunch of flaming.
And yes it did start out bad w/ the first post bashing the struts.
Opinions are great. Thats how we learn each others experiences. But there's a difference between "I didn't like how those things worked" and "Those things are pieces of s***"
I don't mean you have to like Joe Blow but just have some respect for each other.

AND THAT's why I have Tokicos and Eibachs.
1st, forget ford.
I don't know understand why anyone would want to purchase a ford product, break it, then mold it into an mx3 anyways...waste of money, and time...as the author of the post suggested.

please explain which part of the struts is made by ford.
PS: They aren't. They're made BY TOKICO. Eat your own words.
and what are you breaking? You grind away some of a lip...big whoop
ignorant people really really annoy me.

Pardon me, let me add the preposition. WHO would want to purchase a product (made) *FOR* a Ford, mother ****er.
Secondly, I agree you're not snapping the strut in two and duckt taping it back together, but you're also not installing a part specifically designed for a mazda MX-3.
Lastly, it is a ford product since it well, kinda is a product FOR Ford Racing. You show me where I said a product OF Fords. But that's what you get when you make assumptions...an *** .
SO yea, I believe you can um, suck my balls.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
