Just get Godspeed, they are the cheapest of that "one company made them, but 6 resell them rebranded" line up.
Youll need B8s for the shorter body to take advantage of the springs, otherwise itll be mushy and uncontrollable.
Final suspension upgrades
Hello,
I am about ready to take on the final part replacements on my suspension for my 2016 Mazda 6. The last of the OEM parts that I planned on upgrading are the rear lateral arms, rear upper control arms, and rear lower control arms (considering going OEM with the lower control arms in the rear as I don't see much benefit to aftermarket there). I am still uncertain on doing anything with the front sway bar or brackets/bushings.
I am leaning towards the Megan Racing lateral arms in the rear for the adjustable toe, and either their upper control arms or the CorkSports. Any feedback or experience with either?
Current suspension:
Bilstein B6s front and back
KYB front strut mounts
Tanabe lowering springs
OEM rubber seats replaced when springs were installed
Progress Rear Sway Bar (set to least stiff option)
Moog rear sway bar links
Mevotech lower control arms in the front
Mevotech sway bar links in the front
It handles much better than it did new, is frequently driven on very windy backroads at 2-3x the speed limit, and will be introducing me to autocross next month if my other repairs go smoothly. Hoping for a good blend of durability and performance as it's my daily as well, with 90% of that being on the highway.

Now i know why... NO, they are shorter bodied for shorter springs, they do NOT lower the car at all.I was contemplating on B8s (since they’re 25mm shorter & I’m going for the flush look) with the OE springs,
Easy, do what i did and eliminate the stud and use a bolt instead. I had to, since my studs were in 2 pieces after i was done, but kinda planned that going in.Type A/B stuff but not sure how to avoid it lol.
