What's best for a nice drop: Springs and/or Coilovers
Hi everyone,
I read around on the forums and there's great information but I'm a little unsure of whats best for dropping my car which is a Mazda3, 2004 sedan, with 16" OEMs. Here are a few questions if you all can help me out, it would be great!
1. can I just get springs to drop the car?
2. do I need a camber kit to get a nice drop?
3. do they have coilovers for Mazda3, 2004 sedan instead of getting just springs?
4. would you need to get an RWB after you drop the car?
5. when dropping the car, should I change the struts/shocks with the springs and/or coilovers?
Thanks again, guys/girls!

Springs are cheaper that coilovers, however, depending on brand, ride quality can vary, & ride height is only 1 setting. Depending on how low you want to go, camber plates / arms may be needed.
For a 15yr old car I would fit new shocks with new springs, along with bump stops & if needed, dust boots.
I'm running King springs in my 2009 BL Mazda 3 ( same springs as a BK ) and I'm happy.
