Your IDEAL suspension setup...

So what's the best combination of pieces that will work?
I guess they're different setups for the RS and GS... give me setups for both.
So far I've seen ZX2 struts and Eibach springs...

I got a GS, so my setup is for that one.
All the SRD suspension goodies (crossmember, tie bar, bushings etc)
Ground Control
Koni`s
Whiteline rear swaybar
front and rear upper strutbar
Mazdaspeed front upper strutmounts
Probably some other stuff aswell.
What I`d like to know now, is if the ZX2 Ford Racing coiloverkit would fit the Mx3, as the ZX2 struts do fit.

Far as im concerned, stay away from ZX2's. A few people on mx-3.com are now starting to have them blow and/or leak. However, this is currently in debate lol. But ya, just my .02 cents.

My suspension on my RS is great. Here's what I have:
Tokico Blue struts
G.C coilovers
Front strut bar
Rear stock Tie bar from a GS
16X7 Motegi's w/Falken 205 40 16's
The only thing I wanna add is a rear strut bar and slightly bigger tires (215 45 16's)

When the Tokico's break down, Koni inserts will go on.

I love my setup, and thank Gro for the suggestion.

Are B+G or H&R better than Eibach springs?
What about the brand DropZone?... doesn't seem so good when you see them on eBay for $99 for the set.
Why would you need shims for GC coilovers?

Apparently they're made by SRD...

I having a hard time deciding what to get?
Koni's
OR
Toiko's
OR
ZX2 Struts
I know I'm gonna go for Eibach Springs.
I can get a good deal on Koni's for $180 CDN each for front and rear?... is that really a good deal?
Are they adjustable with a nut on top? All I have found on the website is that you can adjust them only when they are off.

Koni`s are the best in my opinion.
They are also rebuildable.
