Danny,
Ok let me gets this right..
You got new HARD suspension from Mazda?

Hard is more for racing then the soft is...

If you bought them straight from Mazda it depends on what year they suspension was out of who the manufactuer is..

Also Danny next time, post this in the SUSPENSION section otherwise they have to move it there..

the harder, properly tuned suspension, will give you better vehicle response under cornering and other extreme driving conditions. otherwise, it could be real uncomfortable (too harsh) on normal roads for some people. some units internal valving are adjustable from soft to hard with a **** somewhere on the body or stem. hopefully yours will be adjustable.

I have acquired the shock absorbers and new springs from Mazda (hard suspension), since those that it had lost stability in the curves with stock suspension (soft ).

I have asked Mazda and it has said me that the shock absorbers that I have ordered, belong to the "R" option package


Excuse me one more time by me broken english

oh ok, the shocks are just stock. they're not all that hard depending on your preference. like dingleberry said, most people do like firmer suspension set ups in sports cars. the R shocks are a little firmer, but not by much in my opinion. hope you didn't spend too much on them because an aftermarket set might have been cheaper. maybe next time huh??
