Hey everyone got the Racing Beat springs in the mail a couple days ago should go on tomorrow night..I will let you all know how they look and feel on my 2000 ES.

 

Craig, while your under there, take a look at how difficult it is to change the front sway bar for me. Good luck with the springs. I'm curious to see if the rear springs are still shorter than the rear strut rod. If so, I'll have to get some new zip ties when I change mine.

 

OK eric to answer your questions the springs fit in the seats perfectly no play in them at all....and to change that front bar a lift would be very helpful and if you did it with Jacks prepare for a full days work

 

That's what I was afraid of, thanks. How do you like the Racing Beat springs so far. It's good to hear the rear springs are tall enough to fill up the rear strut travel.

 

I love em Eric....nice subtle drop and excelent ride while adding to teh handling dramatically. I highly recomend.

 

Excellent! Now I guess it's my turn. I've got the Racing Beat springs and the MP3/Racing Beat stabilizer bar kit from Mazdastuff in now. The stabilizer bar kit even comes with a new rear crossmember! Now I need some warm weather for a weekend to get all this done...

 

Eric did you get the Springs through Mazdastuff.com???? If so those are not the true Racing Beat springs.....they helped design them but Mazda changed the final design from what racing beat produced and they do not have as much of a drop as the racing beat springs and are a tad less stiff if I remember right. The MP3 springs only have about a .25-.3 drop. Just thought I would let you know.

 

Nope, I bought the Racing Beat springs seperate from the stabilizer bar kit. The MP3 springs are 16% stiffer in front, and 19% stiffer in the back, compared to ~21% stiffer for both with the Racing Beat springs. The MP3 springs were supposed to have about a .75" drop with the Racing Beats being about a .875" drop.
