Rear stock replacement ?
It seems that Its going to take a while before Mazda can restock the Stock FC rear (S5)
so in the meantime ... I can buy the Blistein HD Heavy Duty rear shock. but what about Springs ? the original stock spring have rust all over so I will not use those.
Anybody know where to find stock spring replacement? I dont want any drop, I want about the same as stock spring rate.
Cant find them anywhere, Autozone, Advance Auto, nothing

I just wirewheeled my old springs and put them on a set of KYB-AGX shocks,.
the Springs were Painted with a Nice Gloss black Tremclad Professional grade Paint.It is Very Durable and it even Stayed on when I put the spring compressors on to squeeze them down to put on the New shocks.
That is a Suggestion.
Or try a WTB ad on the SEC GEN Parts for Sale section..alot of stuff up for sale,Cheap too!
