Chike, you just change two? So your front is gonna be stiffer than the rear? Do you think urethane will help extend the life of strut mount or help old strut mounts perform better?
Let us know what you think for this strut later on.

Ken,
My friends on the Mazda forums rave about the Tokico struts. The piston in the strut is much thicker than the factory unit, and these should be noticeably stiffer. I'm sure they'll be great for your mazda.
I'm just replacing the fronts as these will only be on my car for ~6 months. These should work very well with my stockers out back, and should help my big front swaybar keep my car flat in corners. Come Xmas, it'll be time for konis at all four corners ($600) -- or even Ohlins fixed perch struts which cost ~$1,800 for a set.
