Installation of Koni sports shocks with Eibach Pro Kit to Gen 1 MPS

**Hama3** · 20-10-2011, 02:29 PM

I've ordered a set of Koni Sport shocks + Eiback Pro Kit spring set from Tire Rack. Should be arriving in a few days.Has anyone had these items installed, and if so are there any tricks or tips with the installation as I will attempt to do it myself.
I've attached the link FYI.......Suspension Products for 2007 Mazda MazdaSpeed3

Cheers

I dont have any tips or tricks to offer, but perhaps search you tube.
How much did the Eibachs cost delivered?

Doing it yourself?

Then I would talk to Grajy (jon) or 2XS (Troy), there is something that you need to be aware of on the front struts, but for the life of me cant remember what the hell it is.

Let me google that for you

use the 3rd hit. krystoms or whatever it was.

Its very easy. No tricks.
Especially if your getting new shocks too. you wont need to take your old springs off the old shocks.

Be aware of the ABS sensors, make sure they dont get damaged, when doing the front shocks.

I have downloaded an installation guide which is is reasonably easy to follow. The biggie is to sand the bottom of the front shocks as the paint is to thick and the shock will not fit in its place. The ABS sensor is one which I didn't know bout. Thanks for the link, this should make things alittle easier.
I had a full set of Koni Sport adjustables @ US$660.00 + Eibackh Pro-Kit @ US$206.00 all shipped for US$240.00.....

Not bad at all..............

When removing the shock tops on the front uprights, the tops are two piece. Lift them off the spring as one. If you separate them, tiny ball bearings will scuttle like buckshot everywhere. Take off the top nut, but remove the top with caution!
