[jtMSP22]

hey guys i want full coil overs but i cant afford them right now...i ordered the cobb springs for my ms3 but the are on back order....they offered me to switch for something else...has anyone heard anything negative about the road magnet springs? or maybe some other suggestions for my 260 bucks?:kopkrab:

I'd be patient and wait for the Cobb?

I have the H&R springs on my MS3 and love them. If you get Road Magnet be prepared to roll your fenders.

sweeeeeeet I heard you did end up getting the MS3, very nice.

Even better that you're already modding it haha

All I've heard about the Road Magnet springs is that they are more for looks than performance. I'm not sure if there's any actual hard data to support that though..

That's a negative, RM springs lower about the same as Cobb springs (in the 1" range). I believe they have different spring rates than Cobb, but drop is the same.

At Mazdapalooza, most of the 3's which were lowered were H&R, and everyone loves them.

whats the h&r height drop? about an inch

let me know if you want to get rid of your stock speed3 springs when you get your springs in i might be willing to take them off your hands

H&R drop is a little more than 1".

From least to most drop: Cobb < Road Magnet < H&R

Be careful you are getting springs made for the MS3. Even though the MZ3 springs fit, the rate for the fronts are not the same since the MS3 is significantly heavier than the MZ3.

was that for me?

its actually a popular mod for us mz3 guys... ms3 stock springs drop a mz3 about 3/4 of an inch and stiffen the ride up considerably compared to stock

No, that was for the ppl that buy aftermarket MZR springs and use them on the MS3.

k ill let ya know...that is if my springs ever come in lol...ive been waiting for the springs and my intake for over a month

[kansei]

ouch. the anticipation would be killing me.

I'll be home next week (on tuesday mid-day) for two weeks, I need to see your MS3 :). Drouin is picking up one I think this coming weekend, but he was undecided between True Red and Metropolitan Gray Mica last I heard. He works in NY though so you probably won't see it around town often.
