Mazda 3 Turbo.

A lot of folks seem happy with them from checking out the main Facebook group. The spring rates on these aftermarket ones are the 3.4K front and 5.9K rear that I mentioned earlier.
Apparently the OEM ones for the non-Turbo is 2.23K front and 4.20K rear. I don't have the exact rates for the OEM Turbo springs, but they're a bit stiffer since the Turbo model is heavier.
I kind of have a few options.
1. Buy the Corksport springs, use OEM shocks until they give out then replace with aftermarket shocks
2. Buy the Corksport springs and replace the OEM shocks with some aftermarket shocks
3. Buy a set of aftermarket coilovers
I feel that options 1 and 3 make the most sense.
I don't know a lot about car suspensions, but it doesn't seem to make sense to replace the OEM shocks (with less than 7000KM on them) with aftermarket ones right off the bat. Might as well wait until they start giving out before replacing them.
I wouldn't mind getting coilovers (a friend recommended I get them), but I'm just not sure if there's value in it for my purpose of getting rid of some wheel gap.
