Question S5 Suspension System Which Brand?

Question:

If the S5 RX7(GXL or T2) has Auto Suspension Adjustor (Normal ~ Sport), which brand of Suspension Kits (System) is compatible to the stock Auto Suspension Adjustor beside the stock one?

Please suggest a kit that is compatible to this feature so that I can upgrade the suspension.

Thanks,

no aftr market works with the aas. when upgrading, you basically disable the feature.

tein do have it but there is no way it'll fit as the mazda system has only a thin slot to adj the shock and only moves 3 positions so not sensitive enough. binn it and get better. Im using kyb adj with b&g springs which are a good street/race combo

go for the kyb agx set up they are fully adjustable (8 in back/4 in frount). you have to get out to do it but its worth it. i have had mine for a while and i just love them, they cna take so much in a turn at just 6&3.

_if you want to do them go to summitracing.com, i paid 420.00 for mine and there is no shipping. gotta love summit

why bother with the AAS system if you plan on going aftermarket. Im running KYB AGX's with Tanabe springs and its way better then stock. With the AGX's its still adjustable just have to do it by the dials on the shocks/struts. You can get those KYB's off ebay from jdmwerks for 320 plus shipping, thats what I did. Good luck. Im running 2/4.
