Racing Beat or Other?
 
I'm thinking of upgrading my suspension soon in my quest for the ultimate performance out of my Pro. Should I go with the Racing Beat springs that were origionally designed for the car and turned for both the MSP Pro and the MP3, or should I go for the H&K set or the Eibach springs? I don't know enough about this to really make an accurate desicion, thus my reliance on everyone else's expertice....

I have the TEIN S-Tech and I think they are great smooth ride, nice handling around fast cornering, and great looking stance not too low just low enough, a great over all value and an awsome product especially considering you can get them on ebay for $130 plus $30 shipping.

Ultimate performance? JIC FLTA2 or Tein SS coilovers. :)

Also more $$$!

I love my Eibachs! They're good enough for now.

Im running the Racing Beat Eibachs right now...if you dont compete in Autocross or anything like that but enjoy a spirited ride they're great...I however want to be a touch lower and have some extra spring rate all around....if you want to PM me we can woprk something out for my springs as Im gonna get some S-techs within a month or so...I only have 10k miles on the car

Thanks for the offer, but I'm gonna have to pass on it this time. I think I too want to go a little lower and a little stiffer. I'm gonna get the H&R spring set. They have gotten really good reviews and only lower the car 1.3" max. They seem to be really well balanced between stiffness and ride-quality. Plus they're under $200!

Thanks again!

If you want performance i'd go with the eibach pro-kit... H&R are more show and more of a drop... Eibach has good ride quality also don't get me wrong.

No, H&R are less drop. 1.3 inches.
Eibach Pro-kit 1.4 F, 1.8 R (1.2R on P5)

JeffyBear September-28th-2004 11:37 PM

oo, my bad. I thought they were a lower drop.

Espelir Springs and Tokico HPs are what I have. I had many different setups.

Mazdaspeed Struts, HR's
JIC FLT-A2's
Tokico HP and Espelir

For all intensive purposes I like my espelirs the most and they are very well priced. Ride and Turning response is great.

I think I can get this combo for about $550.00 shipped or 575.00. Something like that. Email me and I'll send you some pics of my car with rims dropped with this suspension.

FlyinHawaiian071 September-30th-2004 08:19 AM

How much for just the struts? I'm on a tight budget (<--- College Student) so I need to be careful with what I buy.
