I will say however, don't waste money on Raceland Chinese shit. Save up and do it right the first time. You'll be much happier!

| Not Ranked : 0 score Had great luck with Bilstein B2's personally. A little on the stiff side, but very well composed. If you are going to drop the money on it, do it right the first time, and don't cheap out. Suspension is so important, not something to cut corners on.

| Not Ranked : 0 score I have BC BR Type Coilovers that are re-valved for 14k Swift springs by Corner 3 Motorsports (great guys to work with who really know what they are talking about). I actually had these for an 08' Mazda 3 before I got my 09' Speed 3... but they still work well with the Speed 3 despite the weight differences for what I use the car for (autocross & occasional track days). They are great bang for the buck! Like mentioned already... don't cheap out on suspension because you'll end up having to spend more in the long run doing so. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I run the koni str.t + eibach pro lowering springs. Like the drop and it feels solid. Have over 20k on yhis setup now. Best bang for buck I found when I was looking. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I may get it wrong but if you look at raceland, handling isn't your first goal ? And in here drop and camber aren't very popular.
