200. is not bad,are the Tokico adjustable?

I dodnt know Ground Control made coils for the first gen,I saw (Mazdatrix) have them just for the front..

I dont care much about coils overs but if you wanted to use it for the daily driver and AutoX I would get adjustable struts/shocks for sure.

bah
if your spleen can take the abuse get the RB springs and Tokikos
that is what is in my car
yes its hard on the innards at times but I suck it up
handles great
when I'm belted in with the racing belts its even more vicious on the intestines

This is what I do for the springs...

I go to Mazdatrix web site..I look at the spring ratings..

http://mazdatrix.com/h4579-85.htm

I thik the ST (Suspension Technics)
Have a nice spring rate,compared to the RacingBeat.


Then I do SEARCH on NOPI,
The ST there are like $170.
