Racing Beat or Other?
I'm thinking of upgrading my suspension soon in my quest for the ultimate performance out of my Pro. Should I go with the Racing Beat springs that were origionally designed for the car and turned for both the MSP Pro and the MP3, or should I go for the H&K set or the Eibach springs? I don't know enough about this to really make an accurate desicion, thus my reliance on everyone else's expertice....

I have the TEIN S-Tech and I think they are great smooth ride, nice handling around fast cornering, and great looking stance not too low just low enough, a great over all value and an awsome product especially considering you can get them on ebay for $130 plus $30 shipping.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm gonna have to pass on it this time. I think I too want to go a little lower and a little stiffer. I'm gonna get the H&R spring set. They have gotten really good reviews and only lower the car 1.3" max. They seem to be really well balanced between stiffness and ride-quality. Plus they're under $200!
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

If you want performance i'd go with the eibach pro-kit... H&R are more show and more of a drop... Eibach has good ride quality also don't get me wrong.

Espelir Springs and Tokico HPs are what I have. I had many different setups.
Mazdaspeed Struts, HR's
JIC FLT-A2's
Tokico HP and Espelir
For all intensive purposes I like my espelirs the most and they are very well priced. Ride and Turning response is great.
