Thinking about going that route, anything I should know before finalizing? Any alternate route you'd suggest for around the same price? This is for my DD by the way but I want something on the stiffer side anyway

 

Your going to have a hard time finding a set of Bilsteins, From what i understand they are discontinued. Although i did manage to find a set available from tirerack about a month ago and it was the only set they had available.
I will say nice shocks, and although I'm running really stiff springs they seem to handle it well. on rb springs it should be awesome!

 

false.

Anyone who is a distributor of bilsteins can get them for you. A lot of them don't even stock it to begin with so they ship it right from the supplier to you.

However the fronts are inserts so you will need to gut your shock and press it into the new housing.


I got my rears from summit.

Your bilstein/RB mix will be good for DD and any racing event for the most part.

 

+1^

they should be available just fine. You might be thinking of the konis which were discontinued a while ago.

bilsteins and RB springs should be great for a DD

 

Will I need anything besides the shocks and springs themeselves?

 

Yeah the Koni's are gone

While you are in there I would replace the strut mount/bushing.

Mazda sells competition mounts as well, same as OE just stiffer rubber.
