Ok so I currently have H&R's kit on and I love em, but no damping adjustment and I have my fronts fully lifted and putting a lot of tension on the springs. Now there seems to be a lot of kits out there, some are made for the regular 6, which is ok with me cause the spring rates are way better than the H&R's do. Here are some of the choices:
1-KW Variant 2 (no damping adjustments but made in Germany) KW Variant 2 V2 Coilovers Mazda Mazda 6 Sedan 03+ - eBay (item 160408633379 end time Mar-24-11 00:40:31 PDT)
2-Tein Super Street TEIN SS-P COILOVER 04 05 06 07 08 MAZDA 6 MAZDA6 - eBay (item 200493150935 end time Apr-03-11 23:36:30 PDT)
3-Yellow DPS Coilover YELLOW DPS COILOVER 04-08 MAZDA 6 SUSPENSION SYSTEM SET - eBay (item 190506650114 end time Mar-29-11 04:25:35 PDT)
4-BC Racing BC Racing N-01 Type BR Coilovers 03+ Mazda 6 - eBay (item 310190477627 end time Mar-18-11 12:15:09 PDT)
So yah this 4 kit seems to get me interested.

For the money, you can't beat BC Racing coils. FYI, the KWs are damping adjustable but the rear sits super low even when dialled fully up.

Didnt know the KW was, thanks. As for the rears, well there goes that kit.

Anyone have any experience with the Yellow kits and the Tein kits?...

 

[MrTea]

superstreets are a good kit, but on the regular 6 at least they still run a bit stiff even at softest. it's not bad, but you can't get a cush ride from it no matter what. not sure if you can on any of them, but i only have experience testing the SS when i was getting ready to upgrade.

 

[Egierda]

I went for a drive in a friend's 6i with his BC coils and it was relatively comfortable.

I am buying the KWs when its time. I have asked around and they seem to be the better option for a pure performance point of view.

Pure performance = Tein Flex from JDM land.

No I need a link where I can buy them for a Speed6 and not a regular 6.

 

[Egierda]

Same coilovers. Contact Tein USA.

 

[djmarkian]

Good looks Egierda...

Tein Comfort Sports is also around tho I think production might have stoped on them

As for JDM Bilstein do a BSS (F)15mm (R)10mm kit (Not sure what the = is in the B10-B16 we get)

I've also seen Bilstein do a B12 kit (B8 dampers and -30mm springs). Guys in the UK run them I think

IMO, you can spend lots more money, but the best setup is Koni Sport Shocks (yellow adj) and the stock springs. I've had new set of H&R springs on hand for months and finally pulled it down to install them this weekend. After a direct comparison of OEM and H&R, the OEM springs are larger wire by almost a full mm with the same # of coils/diameter. This would explain why some folks report the H&Rs are way too stiff/low. The car is riding on the bumps stops because the H&R springs aren't stiff enough for the lower ride height.

So...., I decided to keep the OEM springs on and I cut one coil from the bottom of the front springs and one coil from the top of the rear springs. Also cut one level of the front and rear bumps stops to account for the lower ride height. The car is essentially perfect for street/track, IF you have the alignment set to maximize grip....

RPM made a set of pure performance springs a while back (the name of them slips my mind) - Mazda6Mtx had them on his car with Koni yellows.

That is one incredible setup. I've never felt a car handle that well on a track (note: he was also running r-comps).

I had that setup before I ran the BCs. Koni Yellows plus their K-Spec springs were incredible.
