im back!!! spring and shock combo??

well after i posted that someone was gonna buy my 7 for 5k i havn't posted anytime after that. turns out insurance is cheaper with a 5th car in the family, so my dad decided to keep the 7 and buy me a mazda6i sporthatch. and as it goes i've been busy with school, finals and what not. now schools over i finally have the time to mess around with my car again! oh CARS!!!! anyways, im thinking about getting the spring and shock combo on the 7, tanabeGF and tokico blues??

well ppl that have spring and shock combos post them cuz im getting them pretty soon i just want to see what you guys prefer.

I'm going to have the same setup due to how cheap it is. While I need some suspension work done, I also have to save for the JIC coilovers I want. I'd rather get the Illuminas or AGXs, as well, if I could afford them.

I heard bad stuff about JIC, and i know a fact that JIC coilover rust easily.

We have Tokico Illumina's (set to 5 all around for now) w/Racing Beat springs. Nice and stiff. See our signature for the rest of the story.

Tokiko Blues+Eibach prokit

Wish I had the Illuminas for the extra damping and adjustability.
