Review on maXpeedingrods Coilovers Struts for Mazda 3 BK BL 2004-2013 - Blue | Adjustable Height Kits by Ray Richards

Well I did the front end over the weekend. It took longer than I wanted, but I made it. I'll do the heck either next weekend or next weekend. I'll update as soon as I'm done with pictures and what not. These coilovers appear to be of decent quality and they fit. I had to drive a screwdriver between the shoulder of the shock mount on the bolt, remove the shock's lower threaded "cup" from the shock and drive it into the mount with a rubber mallet, then tap the screwdriver out of the mount. then with the help of a jack very carefully and carefully jacked up the control lever on the outboard coilover gear and screwed in the shock absorber. Did the same with the passenger and saved a lot of time. One thing I really wish I hadn't done is screw up the nib. I tightened the spring, fiddled with it, and increased the preload. DO NOT WORK WITH THE SPRING. Just leave it alone or you'll be riding in a bouncy castle. I would also recommend buying coilovers with a regular topmount. These coilovers become significantly louder and louder with the supplied top mount. It'll do the job, but now there's a lot more road noise, each bump is 10 times louder. So keep that in mind when purchasing. But in general, for such a price, they work perfectly. But remember, FOR THE PRICE they work great but you get what you pay for. So if like me you are broke and need shocks and want to downgrade this will work fine.
