Shocks and Struts

Hi All,

Haven't been active on here in a while due to retiring the Speed from daily to dedicated racecar. While I am at it, I do have to say that the Mazda is really a greatly engineered and produced vehicle. Especially considering we are at about 125k miles at around 390 hp and on the stock block. recently did a compression test and it was 180 across the board. This has been brought into perspective recently as I got a Jeep for my daily, and have been continuously fixing and repairing it. Still love it though.

Now that my random ADD thought is out of the way, I was hoping to get suggestions on shocks and struts. I have the CS lowering springs with their shocks. Its been on there for a while, and it is time to replace them. I do want to get coilovers eventually, but I do not have disposable income atm to go that route. Can anyone recommend a great setup? TIA.
 
Awesome, thank you. I will definitely check those out. Last question; its also time for me to replace tires. I want to find something that will hold grip in 2nd gear as much as possible. I have narrowed my search down to;

Falken RT660, Yokohama A052, A032R, Toyo R888r’s (people either love these or hate these, theres no in between) and Maxxis ZR9 Victra. I am leaning towards the Yoko’s as all I can find are good reviews, but cant find reviews about these tires on our platform.
 
Have a look at the sumitomo htrz IV, I swapped to those form pilot super sports and I'm very happy with them
