Default Suspension

Hey guys,

I'm trying to get a new suspension on my mazda 3 hatch. I have almost $900 to spend on a new suspension but trying to keep the price as low as possible. I'm looking at the koni FSD/eibach pro kit....Any other suggestion? I need comfort, this is my daily commute to work.

And yes, I'm trying to get a combo set (schocks + springs)

Thanks,

What about coilovers ? That will give me performance w/o sacrificing comfort?
Anyone please??

getting coilovers is pretty much saying no thanks to a smooth ride, but an econobox is designed for comfort and gas mileage any mods will most likely sacrifice comfort for performance which for me im more than happy with doing.

I had Tokicos on my ole' (and I mean OLD) Civic. They made it a completely different car. I LOVED them, but Tokico doesn't seem to make anything for Mazdas, uctuning. And KYB only makes the G2 Rears, which are basically OEM replacements.
What do you know that I don't know?
