Looking for some softer springs out there maybe just barely stiffer then stock. I also don't want too big of a drop. Maybe like a .75" drop.

I have tokico blues that are a few years old probably good still but I wouldn't be oppossed to new shocks. Any suggestions?

Anything out there like that?

I have Tokico springs and struts on my 86 N/A. They are 'progressive', which is supposed to mean they are 'soft' for normal driving and harder under more compression (i.e. cornering). I find them to be pretty 'hard', but all things are relative. I think the other springs on the market are harder, with a larger drop.

If I had it to do over again I would probably go with the same springs, but with KYB adjustable struts. I have an idea in my head for a set of 4 servomotors to run the adjust dials on the struts, hooked up to an in-cockpit control, or even an accelerometer based automatic firmness adjusting system... but that is several projects down the road...

 

Racing Beat is going to probably be your best bet.

 

I'm aware of this data but would like more options http://mazdatrix.com/h4586-92.htm

 

The problem with going softer, especially if it's lower is that the car will be much more likely to hit the bump stops than before. Maybe what you really need is to cut out the old bump stops that are integrated into the shock/strut tops and replace them with some better designed, progressive ones. That way there won't be much noticable difference when you hit the stops.
