Default mazdaspeed accessory shocks/struts

I may be able to get a set of mazdaspeed accessory shocks and struts for around $300.00 and was wondering does any one have them? How stiff is my ride going to get? Is this a good deal?
I want a really really stiff ride. I currently have skunk2 springs with OEM shocks and struts and my ride is a bit bouncy hence the upgrade. I heard road magnet springs would make my ride nice and stiff...

There is a balance between stiff and functional, 08. Too stiff and you"ll bounce over everything w/no control.
My "guess" is that the MS Sport shocks, while an increase in valving and probably a mono-tube design,are fairly mild, which may be just what your Skunks needs to work well.
What have you got to lose? Try them and see!!

I was very impressed with the Mazdaspeed accessories I had. I'd say go for it.

I had the Mazdaspeed struts, but never got around to installing them (sold with the car) I had the prokit springs as V1 said.
