Coilover kit

What springs would you use with the Koni Red Inserts?
The part numbers for the inserts are:
Koni Red Special inserts for a Mazda MX-3.Part Numbers:
86-2442 (front)
86-2443 (rear)

Most of the springs on the market lower the car from 4cm to 5.5max but whats most important is the thickness of the spring, strength in the coil and it progressio. (going from a tight coil to a loose coil)
Eibach and H&R are about the same really, both have good progresive coil.
Intrax are for people wanting to lower but not stiffen the ride too much
AST springs we're specially made here in Holland for all the mx3 owners that kept bitching to them (including me) They have tried 3 different combinations unitl they found the right coils.If you can find Eibachs or H&Rs for less than 140 euros (doubtfull) go for these.
I dont want to keep pushing products from the JT range, thats not my intention but unless you can get whats mentioned above I would seriously advice you to go for the AST,s not because of the price but rather because they we're made to our requirements.
The koni cartridges have adjustable damping so with a bit playing around you should be able to get a nice ride height with just the right stiffness.

Always set the rear a little stiffer than the front, this will give you better warning before the back breaks out.
The reason for setting the front a bit softer is to reduce wheel hop and loss of traction, and eliminates a lot of under steer when powering into the corner.

Just came across this website with cheap Intrax springs, only £115 quid, not sure on the quality tho…what d'you reckon?
If you search for MX3 you'll see em in the list…

Good find, but by the time you have paid the shipping from the US and the import chargers, it will probably chepaper to get the AST set from JT.
all products from the US seem cheap, thats what I always thought but then you get bizaar shipping chargers thrown in, and what nobody tells you is that when the parcel is delivered to your door the postie wil ask you for some more money for Import.
everything that comes from Europe has no import chargers.
search on ebay.de….a bit hard as most of you dont understand german, me neither btw, but with patience and an online translator you do get results.http://fahrzeugteile.search.ebay.de/mx3_Auto-Motorrad-Teile_W0QQfromZR8QQfrtsZ200QQsacatZ131090
also try a company called FK, this is an online catalogue and has a lot of stuff, but you do have to find a dealer in the UK
