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

the point is, Mazdatrix get their parts from Mazda so unless they stock it before hand (which I doubt), they wont have them.

Im ordering direct from Mazda but they dont have it (no ETA )

so

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!

So you're saying I can just clean the rust on the old stock spring (that looks like it has like 200K+ miles on them), paint, and reuse them ?
