Suspension Cross Compatibility?

[chasingsafety]

As title states, I'm runnin on s/r's right now. But would like to find something more aggressive.

What is cross compatible with our cars? As far as struts go?
mx-3? protege?

I'm sure there was a thread on the old forum, but that isn't gunna help now :(

best setup: (IMO, without coilovers) dropzone springs, sr tokico shocks

I'm on DZ coils right now, and I know the rear's are not going to take what I'm giving them lol

22mm racing rsb?

[chasingsafety]

not yet, I'm more concentrated on trying to get a stiffer set of struts that will handle the drop I want before messing with the sway bars

[TTFOWIA]

well the dropzones are the best made for our cars... you could try going in mazda suspensions... our frame is the BG frame.

mx-3 will work? no modification needed?

Someone else want to chime in here?
Will these fit?

you will need the top plates from the car youre taking the suspension from... and there may be some custom work involved for the brake line mounting.

thats no big deal, I have a spare set of mounts kicking around with the metal bearing plate too

Try MX3 Koni "Special" (Red) inserts (Corksport). If you need more, Koni can revalve them to be externally adjustable "Sports" (Yellow)...and even set them for high rate springs...and double-adjustable. Only limit is your checkbook. This setup with the GC coilovers is vey nice.

The PN is 86-2442 Front, Rear is 86-2443

No those won't fit. That's a different Mazda platform than ours. 90-94 Protege is what you can use.
