How about a Bilstein PSS9/PSS10 setup? Is there a sleeved Koni Setup for it? I have driven a couple D2 and BC cars and not worth the money.
Remember that you could always get the same spring rate and just a longer spring. You can order a spring from Eibach or Swift in any custom length/rate very cheaply.. It does worry me if your current springs are beehive springs or change in upper or lower ID.
Changing spring rate does not noticeably affect ride height (again, dont take this to extreme, this is a general rule). It is simply a matter of spring length.
There is Ground Controls made for my car. They would be around $1400 including front camber plates that I have to buy separately. They make Bilstein B14 PSS and Bilstein B16 PSS9/PSS10 for my car. $1400 for B14's including front camber plates that I have to buy separately. $2000 for B16 including front camber plates that I have to buy separately.
B14's: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.edgeautosport.com/manufacturers/bilstein/bilstein-b14-pss-coilover-kit-mazdaspeed-3-2007-2013/">http://www.edgeautosport.com/manufactur ... 2007-2013/</a><!-- m -->

And yes Mazda3/Speed3 suspension parts are interchangeable
And no different ID springs usually won't match up with the perches.
Also, hear Bilsteins are too soft for our cars and GCs if it weren't for the Koni's would be a solid option. I hear Koni's don't last very long and there are several problems with droop and travel on our cars with the GC kit.
