I’m considering getting the Godspeed traction-a springs and installing them with the koni special active front and rear shocks/struts, but I haven’t been able to find any decent reviews about these springs. Does anybody have any experience with them? The lowering height and price is why I’m considering them but I’m not sure if they would be a good option for a daily driver.

I hate ALL my godspeed parts, Front and rear Adjustable end links and Rear Adjustable camber and toe arms, cant speak for their suspension parts but Godspeed = Crap in my book and a lot of others too, I was warned about their parts and I didnt listen, now i have to replace them with better parts asap.

In my opinion the Cork Sport lowering springs offer the best feel and drop when doing just sprigs to lower, plenty of people here and other Mazda groups that will state the same.

I was on Corksport springs 0n the gen and found too bouncy. im also on the Godspeed rear camber arms
As for Godspeed or any brand out there depends where it is made.
Godspeed like other brands have lower cost products made in china and the rest of there product line made in Taiwan or Japan or Euro or assembled in USA.
Same with Tein certain line made in china and higher end Japan

Another spring option is Megan racing products (Blue product ) and the no name sister color Orange - same Taiwan plant

The stock springs are 2.55 kg Front/3.05kg Rear.
The GodSpeed are 3.1kg F/3.35kg Rear. Just looking at that, I think they’ll be comfortable enough, but have more understeer than even stock. Rates are too high in Front vs Rear.

Corksport are the best handling, but have a 1.75” drop. They also have a Version 1 and 2 for 2014-2018, version 2 is stiffer than v1.
V1 is around 3Kg F/ 4.2kg Rear. Don’t remember V2, but it’s stiffer.

Racing Beat also handle very well and are a .75” drop, with about 2.9kg F/3.9kg Rear.

The Tein S Tech 1.4”-1.6” drop, is another decent option, more on the comfort side, just barely 5% stiffer than stock, F&Rear.

Comfort? Eibach or Ranabe.
