HELP With Selecting 6MPS Struts Please!!

[wardy1989]

Hey guys..i have recently bought a mazda 6MPS and am looking to lower it. I previously owned a wrx and only did the springs and after a while the shocks started making a fair bit of noise..So with this car i have been told to put a shortend strut / spring combination in..what struts would you guys recommend??

Thanks guys

Hi and welcome

Search tool is your friend. Lots of info about on suspension mods for the MPS6

Eg. what shock absorbers would best suit mps6 with king springs?

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your choice of car.

Bilsteins work for me and they suit a 1 inch drop. You could go with Konis but they require major work because they only sell you the insert, and in my view Konis are inferior and I have found them to be unreliable.

There are several springs around, (King, H&R, RPM, Eibach etc) just pick the spring that gives you the drop you are looking for.

BTW the 6MPS does not have struts, and it's not a trivial difference.

Better change it again mate because ppl might think we're talking about 3MPS.

Heasmans in Sydney sell Bilsteins for around $1000. It's all been discussed here before, part numbers, everything.
