However, from reading around here and other forums, it seems the PRHT might use a custom/Mazda special variant and a standard B6 shock will increase the ride height.
Is this the case and does anyone know the official Bilstein (and Mazda if doable) part number for the rear shock?
The mazda bilstein is not comparable with the aftermarket bilsteins. You have the choice of buying the mazda part or a replacement aftermarket pair. I would not consider a mix and match
Yup, the more i read the more it appears that the OE Mazda Bilstein are a different product to the B6’s that are offered by Bilstein as a direct replacement and arguably the better shocks.
So if i opt for the Bilstein B6, then ideally i should do all four and not just the rears?
The B6’s are around £100 each or MX5Parts want £200 each for OE rears - so it all works out about the same.
I’ve have read the B6’s are a little firmer than the original Mazda Bilstein’s; other than that, are there any differences? Will the ride height change? And i assume i can use the B6’s with the standard OE (sport) springs?
Again much appreciated everyone; i’m getting a lot more answers here than official channels so it’s been a massive help
