LOL~ Goodyear Eagle RS-A as the factory tire, eh? No wonder my friend was saying they suck la~

So Philip, you're getting your suspension replaced next year, eh? What are you looking to replace it with? Full coilovers? Mazdaspeed replacement parts? Bilstein? Koni? Eibach? If your car is done, you should come out and join us for track day to stretch her legs la~

Mazda 5 doesn't use Eagle RSA instead it has Toyo Proxes A18, but same kind of garbage!

Bro Lik, you know la.. I suck at driving. All I am doing is just make the car perform better than stock for safety and some quick thrill. Going on track just cost a bit more than I can afford.

Although I don't want to, I might buy the MazdaSpeed spring because it is the only one that lowers only 1". Most springs like CM, Eibach, H&R is about 1.4-1.6", which is too low for my taste. Shocks wise, I might go for Koni yellow or FSD.

I already spent $600 on winter tires this year, with that all said, my budget is still depends on the market... plus I got other priorities as well... such as moving out... my car to be honest is not at the top of the list.

You know, Philip, I totally suck at driving as well! I came in dead last out of the regulars that participated in the VCMC novice series, but who cares? As long as you have fun, that's all that matters mah.

If you are still open to options for your suspension components, you might want to check the following 2 shops/sites out:

http://www.good-win-racing.com/M ... formance-Parts.html

I've purchased from both places before, and both have been a joy to work with. The Racing Beat springs at GWR in particular might be of interest to you because it only lowers by 0.6"/0.5". For the Miata, some people have come across QC issues for the RB springs, but Goodwin is as good as customer service gets, and will happily assist you with returns / refunds the best he can. But for those who found the RB springs to work, they have been extremely satisfied.

p.s. I hope I didn't lure you into breaking your bank account balance la~
