  1. 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Skyactiv Suspension & Handling
    I'm browsing all the discussion about the KONI FSD, but I'm not certain on what "better ride" means. My only real issue with the stock setup(2015 M3 sport) is on concrete roads. They have wavy pattern here, so the car is bouncing up-down at 2-3Hz - really annoying . All other cars we have a...

    Just bought the new improved FSDfor my ride. Currently on eibach, but going to RB springs cause the ride is a bit low for where I live( unless eibach are much better ride/handling than RB, then I would keep the Eibach and be super careful). The dampers are on the way from Tirerack, I just got...
  3. 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Skyactiv Wheels and Tires
    I want to run a little lower than Eibach Springs and decided the 30/40mm of Vogtland/H&R would be a good look. I’m trying to decide on the best tire size for daily driving with the occasional spirited driving, with the help of everyone who knows much more than myself. I’ve done research using...

    Need a lowered and softer ride. I know the FSD will give me that, but the design just seems like it's begging for repairs down the road. I'd like to know if anyone has the Bilstein B6 and if it's more comfortable than the stock setup and how much drop it offers.

    Greetings. I have a 2017 3GT 5-Door and I want to upgrade the suspension to Koni FSD shocks, and I would like to upgrade the springs as well, but I do NOT want to lower the car. The FSD page says that it is designed to run with the stock springs and does NOT lower the car. That is perfect...
  6. 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Skyactiv Suspension & Handling
    Hello, This upcoming week I'll be installing Koni FSD's on my car, I searched the entire thread and did not find many cases in which people have installed FSD's with their Eibach Pro Kit, I mainly found the RB Springs and FSD's Combo. My question is, will it be necessary to cut the bump stop...
  7. 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Skyactiv Suspension & Handling
    I lowered my '14 s GT back in April of 2016 with Corksport/Koni Yellows. Two months later, I switched out the Corksports for H&R. While I liked the ride better on the H&R's, I felt the Yellows were too jarring and jolting. In December, I switched to BC Coilovers. Well, that was a mistake...the...

    Let me first say that i'd like to thank those on this forum that took the first plunge into buying and installing these. But not only that, posting up guides for everyone else as well. Well, with all the info I found on here I purchased the Koni FSD shocks and Racing Beat springs for my 2015...

    Hey all, this is my first post so go easy on me lol. I have been going through the threads on this forum for idk how long and finally made my suspension decision, I am going to go with Koni fsd's and racing beat springs. This combo will give me the looks, performance, an ride that I am looking...

    ...And I thought I would post a pic. This setup definitely took the sharpness out of the crap CA roads I have to drive on. I haven't gotten it mad on corners yet, but it seems to keep more level on the various off/on ramps I have to use. My 2012 3s 6-Speed has the following: - Koni FSD's...

    Well after about a month and a half of waiting I finally got everything together and installed. H&R Springs Corksport RSB Koni FSD Adjustable endlinks: ADJUSTABLE SWAY BAR LINKS FOR MAZDA 3 BK 2004-2009 | eBay Let me tell you, if you're on the fence do it. Completely different driving...
  12. 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Skyactiv Suspension & Handling
    I decided to make a new post to keep things clean in case someone decides to research this combo. Looks: Just what I wanted - I know it's going to settle a bit more, but even if it doesn't I love it. You can tell it's lower, but it's not slammed. It really gives the 3 the sleek, aero look of...
  13. 2010-2013 Mazda 3 & Skyactiv Suspension & Handling
    Hey guys, wanted an opinion / review of something I intend to do: I currently own the full racing beat spring/sway bar set, and noted that the stock dampers feel too soft. On the highway, oscillations are killer. Has anyone ever used FSD with these springs? How are they? - Stock spring...
  14. 2004-2009 Mazda3 Suspension & Handling
    Hi Guys, My shocks are shot and due for replacement. I'm deciding between Koni FSD vs Stock shocks. I called the Koni agent and he said average lifespan for FSD is around 3 - 4 years. How long will stock shocks last? I will appreciate reduction in body roll when cornering yet too stiff shocks...
