They are Springtech springs manufactured in Canada. I've purchased several sets before (1st set 6yrs ago perfectly fine today) for different vehicles and was happy with what I got. I think most (if not all) of their passenger vehicle springs are 15% stiffer than OEM so the ride is oriented towards comfort rather than performance while dropping your vehicle an inch or so. As these springs are more for getting the lowered look I'd make sure you have enough suspension travel on your struts otherwise you'll hit the bumpstops often.
I've been to their manufacturing facility out in Surrey and they can make custom sets for you if you need them.

A large majority of the BCMazda3'rs run them.
Well the ones that don't mind a 1.75" drop all around.

u guys r so confused, he's saying since spring A(canucksmotorsports) is 15% stiffer than stock vs spring B(some other brand of the same application) is 50% stiffer than stock, spring A is relatively more comfortable than spring B, but both will give u similar amounts of drop.

I bought a set and sold them to another local tibby. He said they weren't bad for the $133 or whatever it is.Ride quality was decent and stiffness was okay.

They are softer for a lowering spring. I've run Tein, H&R, Eibach and now Progress coilovers on the same cars but those Canuck springs likely had lower springrates based on the ride.

I've been in about a dozen different cars running Canuckmotorsport springs. I've never seen a set go wrong before, and the ride comfort -- provided they're combined with proper shocks -- is pretty good, especially since you can custom order the drop height and spring rate. As had been mentioned, the generic springs you can buy off the site are geared more to lowering your car while retaining a fair semblance of comfort.
I would have no problem with purchasing a set for my car.

I had them make a custom set of springs for my '87 200sx, and they've been in my car since then, been at least 3 years now.
Definitely good quality and good pricing.

I guess Google is a replica of Yahoo, Lycos and Hotbot Because at one point those were the main search engines and Google was just starting out.
