    Anybody have any recommendations on which springs to use with Koni special active (red) shocks/struts? And your opinion on that set in particular too? For a 2014 Mazda 3 I Touring. I’ve seen a lot of people recommend the yellows but i don’t necessarily want to spend that kind of money unless the...

    Koni provides a lifetime warranty on their struts/shocks and I thought I would test it out. You need to fill out a claim form available on their website, send a copy of your vehicle registration and proof of original purchase for the part. On the claim form you have 2 types of warranty...

    Hi everyone, I’m very new at this, so I apologize in advanced if I’m missing some info in order for someone to help me, I’m willing to give more details as needed. So a couple of months ago, I installed the Eibach lowering springs on my car, love the drop and how it looked, and I was planning on...

    I have a new set of front left and front right Koni Special Active Strut housings for sale. These are new, never installed, still in the box. They were shipped to me with some scratches, as seen in the photos presented. The manufacture part numbers are 8745-1336L, and 8745-1336R. They were...

    I installed Koni Special Active rear shocks and front struts on my 2011 3i. The original units clocked 55,000 miles, so were not worn out. The Konis, as advertised, improved both ride and handling.

    My apologies, I feel like I've been spamming this forum lately. Anyone have any luck ordering the Koni Special Active Reds lately? Specifically the rears (PN: 8045-1337)? I can't find them in stock anywhere and Tirerack just contacted me saying the back order is looking like late August at...

    Found some RB Springs, please ignore this. On the off chance someone is unloading some new/lightly used Racing Beat (ideally) or Eibach springs, I'd like to chat with ya. Not interested in H&R/Corksport as they are too low for my needs. Also interested if anyone has new Koni Special Active...

    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...

    Had a shop installed vogtland and koni special actives on my mazda. Trimmed the bumpstops according to spring drop however it feels like Im hitting something on the rear when I go over bumps. Sometimes I hear a clicking sound. Ride is stiff but rides well on smooth roads. Small potholes aborbed...

    I posted this a few weeks ago, but didn't get any replies. This is for a 2004-2009 Mazda 3. I have a 2005 Mazda 3 hatch. If you are interested at all, please send me an offer. I am in the Washington DC area (Silver Spring, MD). I'd rather not ship, since these are large items, but we can work it...

    I am in the Maryland/Washington DC area. I posted on local craigslist, but wanted to get the word out so I joined the forum. Apparently I can't post the link since I don't have the post count. Feel free to message me if you are interested and I can forward you to the craigslist post. Selling a...
  14. 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...

    Hi Guys, I am new here and this is my first post. I have a 2017 M3 Hatch GT Manual with close to 10K miles on it. Looking to do a major suspension upgrade soon. Still on stock 18" wheels but I intend to go inch up in the future. I have read lots of threads and from what I gathered these are...

    $250 + shipping: Brand new set of Koni Sport Shocks for the first and second gen. Never installed. Sold the car and never got a chance to use these. Great deal on these rebound adjustable shocks that will take the handling to the next level and pair well with stiffer or lower springs. Was $700+...

    Looking for feedback on Koni Special Active Strut. Has anyone had experience with these yet? Relatively new (replaced FSD) so I haven't seen a review on these yet. https://www.koni-na.com/en-US/NorthAmerica/Products/Cars/Special-Active-(Red)/ Thanks in advance!
  18. 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Skyactiv Suspension & Handling
    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...
