Okay, it is almost time. By next week I will be ready to order the Ksports for the Mazda 323. http://neverenoughauto.com/index.php?target=products&product_id=2805
I am worried about one thing, they have two different listings. There is one for the GTX and one for the GTR. They are both in the BG chassis and both are rated at 504f 280r for spring rates (rather high but my GC's are nearly the same, so no biggie to me). Anyway, which do I get? GTX or GTR? Any thoughts would be great.

i would go with the GTR. the GTX is turboed and if i remember correctly AWD so that may play a role. it may not but just to be on the safe side i'd go with gtr

Keep an eye out for their known leaking.

I believe the GTX has a different rear suspension.

Okay, as noted above, they are both all wheel drive. I called Ksport and although the rep wasn't sure of the GTX & GTR (something about they were international vehicles), I did confirm which one will fit the American 2wd version. We want CMZ-162KP. Once I find a dealer and good price to go I will update once again.
So far:

But these are shocks and springs complete right?

It is a complete unit. Just FYI, I am going by the "known" fact that Mazda 323 suspension is fully interchangable with our car. As soon as I receive the product and successfuly install it, I will confirm whether or not it is a direct bolt on. It should be, but that is yet to be determined.

Haven't received them yet. According to when I ordered them (April 30th) I was told 7-10 working days.

the 2nd gen escorts use them all the time, they also complain about how the shocks blow easily when lowered a hair to much

Which are you speaking of (GC/Tokico combo or Ksports?) Also, can you be more specific on what lowered a hair too much is?
