Hi guys

Looking at getting some new struts into to 97 BA.. Are they the same as struts and rubber mounts as the 4 cylinder?

Looking at some Selbys..are they any good?

Wanting middle of the range ..don't want to go nuts price wise...any advice?

Same over all product but according ot mazda valved different.
Dependant on who you get them off depends they make a pacific type for a V6 and 4 cylinder.
EG Eibach make springs for both and I think KYB make a V6 and 4cylinder but they may have combined now. EG some time go at least ten years some cars hard turbo variants some didn't same with shocks. You need to look at the catalogues but I think now you will find it's one product. both go in either way.

Wanting new or second hand? Stiffer springs or standard. There's always a few used options out there, depending what you want from the car.

Was going to go new with my existing lowered springs. Right now I'm in the process of negotiations with Rup. Preferring better quality over cost saving, I'm happy to go used.
