WA stock sport coils

so i just learned that there is shocks that change stiffness when a button is pressed. is this available on any FC? are these any good? what do you think. i want to replace my cut springs for this push button system. i think that in my car its just plug and play. i see the plugs and everything.

Came standard on the GXL models. had 2 buttons: "Normal" and "sport" and would auto-stiffen in corners and such as well. I think the wiring is all there for other models, just gotta get the control unit, the actuators that sit on top of the struts and the struts themselves. Struts are available from Mazdatrix, thing is, they are rather spendy, and you can get better aftermarket struts for the same price, me thinks.

ya these were good 20 yrs ago... not so much now. most sets u could find used are worn out, then new ones are over priced, you can get good aftermarket struts for cheaper.

some adjustable shocks are tokico illuminas or kyb agx

now it would probbaly be ag ood idea to replace your cut springs as im sure those make the car ride poorly. you could pick up a set of real springs that are stiffer and lower the car a bit.

Look at my little Scrims. Once a semi-clueless kid I followed into a parking lot, now giving out valid information. They grow up so fast.

haha, I was more than semi-clueless. But reading forums and day dreaming for 4 years straight will put some good info in your head.
