Hey i recently came across a butt load of dough to spend so i plan on doing a bunch of stuff to my car, but i want to pinch pennies whenever possible...Well, actually im goin to be buying another mx-3 to fix up and sell mine...anyways....who makes cheap coil overs that will fit the mx-3? I checked out ground control and dang they are a bit too pricey. I checked out weapon R but they didnt list the mx3 under cars that the coil overs would fit..any suggestions?

Check <A HREF="http://www.dropzonesuspension.com" TARGET=_blank>http://www.dropzonesuspension.com</A> <BR>I kind of like mine. I didn't know who they were before and I just took a chance. My springs are 450/350's which are quite stiff. But I like the ride. I didn't really like the price that I got from my dealer but you may have better luck. <BR>Good luck man<P>one

DO NOT get the Weapon R's!!!<BR>The only coilovers for the mx-3 that are going to be worth it are the Ground Controls.<BR>I wanted coilovers awhile back, but decided that its not going to be worth it. I just lowering springs. Most people who get coilovers barely ever adjust them. Just FYI.

well what is the differences between coil overs??? I was checkin out ebay and coil overs for CRXs were like 150 bucks and less... <A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 1873053097" TARGET=_blank>http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 3053097</A> <P>Any reason they wouldnt work for the mx-3? And the you get what you pay for comment...well with my SOHC im not exactly goin to be flying around corners or what not..and even if i get the BPT, i still am not going to be entering any rally races or anything...

Oh, and i already tried the whole lowering springs route..i really shouldnt have cuz at the time i couldnt afford it but oh well....and i really wasnt that happy with the drop...i had the intrax "1.75" drop...the reason i have that in quotes is because that is what everyone says, but when i recieved the springs there was a paper inside saying what cars they will fit and how much they drop it, and for the mx3 it said ".75" and ".5", not 1.75 and 1.5....
