New to this forum... Help a brother out!!!
 

Hey what's up? I'm new to this forum :xyxwave: but not so new to the Mazda community. I'm the proud owner of a '01 Protege ES with some decent mods and just about a week ago I bought a '08 Mazda 3. I, like a real rookie, bought my car wtihout taking it out for a test drive, and last week realized that I think I have a rear blown shock. Feels like i'm just riding on springs in the back. I'll be on the Highway and hit a bump and the ass of the car kicks out a little. I'm covered under the warrenty, but I wanna put aftermarket springs and shocks on my car. On my Protege I went with a Eibach pro line and the 5 way adjustable Illumina Tociko Shocks. I love the ride but what is the best Shock/Spring set up for my 3???
I want something sporty and responsive and at least a 1.5" drop.

P.S. I'd rather stay away from expensive coil-over sets and I really dont need the set up to be on the spot adjustable.

go to either mazdas247.com ot themazdaforum.com. this forum is dead and a spam magnet.

Aight thanks... I'm a member of that forum as well, but I didn't think they were too heavy on Mazda 3's cause I neva really see posts of them. I don't even think they have a Mazda 3 pic gallery. But I'll definitely post this there as well. Thanks again.
