    Just change it all at once? I have a problem.

    called em. they don't come together. annoying though as edge calls that last link a bearing, whereas tasca calls it a spring insulator. then there's also a bumper under that. that 'spring insulator' almost looks like a bushing of sorts, which is not the same as a bearing. jeez. i'll just...

    Just change it all at once? I have a problem.

    likely overthinking this. See here: https://dz310nzuyimx0.cloudfront.net/strapr1/b543134e131720655d77654bff5525a8/1578bd8d50a9f610bba8de267ca7f77b.png Only need highlighted? https://edgeautosport.com/mazda-oem-upper-shock-mount-front-mazdaspeed-3-2007-2013/ i don't need this, too, right...

    Just change it all at once? I have a problem.

    finally did my own research! according to Bilstein, i shouldn't need any other adjustment parts. might buy new strut top plates just so i don't have to disassemble my stock ones and dick with that. aside from that, per them, i should be good. yeah buddy.

    Just change it all at once? I have a problem.

    feel like i'm just peppering peeps with questions here. trying to determine if i'll need any adjustable camber plates/arms or toe arms with the B14s. I'm reading as many forums as i can and i see some say 'yeah you might' and others say 'eh, probably not'. WTF. i'm pretty sure they don't...

    Just change it all at once? I have a problem.

    wow good suggestion. forgot all about rock auto. i see they have the b14's for ~$925. that's around a $100 cheaper than most sites. i see the the ST X kit at $879 on tirerack. damnit! since so few MS owners have or post reviews/vids about these two setups, i've been a lot from focus owners...

    Just change it all at once? I have a problem.

    Thanks! I turned cheek to coil overs as I thought they would all be $2k. That’s obviously wrong. And being able to determine and choose ride height seems like a real bonus. Okay so I’m sorta double dipping in two threads. Not on purpose but found another old thread where I think you suggested...

    Opinions wanted on new suspension set up

    How are you liking those ST Xs? I hadn't seen this thread originally when doing my research. i'm in the same boat that you were. i ordered swift springs, but if a coilover (which i thought would be ungodly expensive) could also fit the bill then great. i see these COs are even a little...

    Just change it all at once? I have a problem.

    hmmm well damn. anyone have any experience with the Bilstein B14 PSS Coilover Kit? Looks like it is height adjustable (says depends on application so maybe it is for our car?). Pricewise it's about the same as the struts/shocks and swift combined.

    Just change it all at once? I have a problem.

    Thanks again! I thought I saw a combo mentioned of Konis in front and bilsteins in rear. But I’ll look at both. Also saw that CS sells an adjustable set. Funny as their reviews are either 5 stars or 1 star. Peeps either loved them or despised them. They are cheaper ($495 I think) and I don’t...

    Just change it all at once? I have a problem.

    So since the car sits all winter I try to do any upgrades during that time. I decided this season (though it's almost time to bust the damn thing out) to do a little suspension upgrade. Of course 'a little' never really means a little, does it? So I bought some Swift springs that are sitting...

    Rear Sway Bars

    well damn lol. i did find it cheaper on amazon. now i'm tryin to cancel my other order. good times! either way i'll end up with one :) appreciate the info, again. now time to look at shock/struts and hope my end links will be just fine.

    Rear Sway Bars

    wow, thanks, man! good info. i might just pop on this one then. turns out it's like $3 more but all the free shipping. :P i really don't even care which one i get, per se. i just want it to be a good one and a rear sway bar isn't something that someone buys every day or even for every car...

    Rear Sway Bars

    i'm not entirely sure what to ask i suppose. how are the brackets/bushings that come with it? i don't think it's absolutely necessary to get the billet ones. just a bonus i think. looks like the whiteline is nearly the same size as the CS. also i don't see anywhere the % of stiffness it...

    Rear Sway Bars

    ha! i was actually looking at white line as well. i don't know literally anything about them. i saw them mentioned here in this thread but i wasn't sure about them. i could do some more research. that bar may actually be a little cheaper. i guess the one thing is that the CS bar does come...

    Rear Sway Bars

    man, all i do is revive old ass threads. so not sure what the deal is nowadays, but i'm bout to drop $229 on a CS sway bar and they are going to charge $30 shipping? am i just too used to being coddled by amazon and many other sites?? has it always been like this with them?

    Good Suspension Options?

    I'll have to check the price on those swift springs. just lowering springs, right? i still have stock suspension all around so hopefully that won't cause my old struts/shocks to take a shit earlier than they normally would. and yeah i need to roll those fender but i'm nervous as usual. might...

    Good Suspension Options?

    ha! well i have a truck for that type of thing. i won't be loading mine down with anything like that. do you think the swift springs > CS springs? or too early to tell per still on the stands? did you ever have to roll your fenders with the CS springs?
