Hi, I'm new to this forum and I need opinions. I have a 2008 mazda 3 ,5 door hatchbck,I love the way it handles but want to improve it with shocks and bigger sway bars but not lowering springs. This is a everyday driver on streets and fwy. My question is ,are the yellow konis to harsh for an everyday driver,now I don't mind a "stiff" ride but I certainly don't want a "harsh" ride and also does the "strut tower bar" (I believe that's what it's called ) help with handling? Any opinions will be greatly appreciated ! Thanks,Larry
