Yeah I saw that one on the mazdatrix site...

I did some research on them and so far most of the people who have them like how it looks(lowers a lot) but it doesn't do any good on the handling side. I could care less how much it lowers the car, I just want something the handles good....

I just bought some TOKICO HP's and now am looking for some springs...

I think I'm gonna go with RacingBeat...
I could care less on how stiff the ride is.....

Anybody know(or have) this combo works out?
(big/Little defference in handling?)

I bought RB springs and KYB GR-2 gas shocks, and I love them. You can feel the road, but it's not spleen-jarring, it's actually quite comfortable for me. Great handling.

Since you have Tokico's the RB springs should go fine with those too. There's my vote.

RB in my opinion allows the perfect balance between handling and daily drivability.
