Default Scale Coilovers

Not sure if there's been a thread about them, if so, please remove admin. Here's the link.

SCALE? MAZDA 3/MAZDASPEED 3 (BM) 14+ INNOVATIVE SERIES ? SCALE suspension

I saw them pop up in a few FB groups and apparently they're some of "the best" coils you can get for around the ~$1k range. Was hoping someone can give insight into how good they actually are.

They look flashy.

For the price I'd buy H&R coilovers. Anything with an "extreme low" variant is not about handling therefore is not about quality.l

These things look like ridiculously over priced BC's. $395 for a swift spring upgrade, and an extra $100 for camber plates and you're approaching the price of KW v3's.

Get trusted quality coilovers, or cheap decorated and accessorized crap.

Move along...nothing to see here.

These coilovers aren't even for Speeds. They're for 3rd Gen Mazda 3s.

Yeah, I'll pass on purchase. I was just curious because I see more and more people coming out the wood works saying they're good quality. Even saw someone say something about 96 way adjustabilty LOL

They look like sonic coils without the camber plate. Even the endlinks are the same. Lol best coils out but come with the worse links possible.

Just bought a full set of scale innovative coils/springs and super excited to switch out my corksport coilovers. Ever since I switched to corksport coils/springs some 6-7k miles ago, I have been really displeased with my ride quality. Many times if the roads aren't completely smooth, i've felt like I am going to loose control and hop off the road if I don't drive under a certain speed. I purchased a whiteline bump steer kit which helped a little but it is still real bad. I know a couple of people who have the scales, and they have said nothing but good things. Also, there are top end cars that use them like audi R8s, GTRs, vipers, porsche, and lots of others, so I figured I'll give it a shot and let you guys know what I think.

This guy bought a set of Scale coilovers, and ditched his BCS and gave it a glowing review.

https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?th...nstalled.5059/

Completed with install pics. I just bought a set of Scale coilovers with 5k Miles on them so i can give my review as well once i put them on.
