    There's a few out there:
    DSM
    Ksport
    GAB

    I'm running Dirtras, along with Pedders bushings and Whiteline swaybars, so I haven't had the need to shop around.

      Good topic. Just found this link. Not sure of the quality, but they are from the UK.

        Hi

        as far as i can see, it's only for the 4wd bf. and then the rear wont fit.

        So far the best solution i have found is to buy a set of Pedders GSR struts for the front. This should be a short shaft strut. and if i use this with my GC coilover/springs, it should be ok. in the rear i will keep the red koni's. i need some confirmation about this, so if anybody have any inputs? Derrrick from CS should have been approving this combo. and i have sent a request to pedders

        This is also the best solution money-wise....

          what about this? http://www.xyz-auto.co.uk/products/R...89%252d94.html Its weird because it says, MAZDA 323 (2WD) : 89-94 89 was bf over here but after that 90 past was BG chassis. this is from Europe so what the difference? Is it for a BG or BF?

            In europe there was a 89 bg, so This is is most likely for bg

                Bumping an old thread. Just looking for some clarification, from what I read BF GTX and BG GTR are the same? is this correct? My GTX suspension is dead and it looks like BG GTR coil overs are cheaper then BF GTX (not sure why?)

                  That is not correct. Lots of differences.

                    this has me confused then. So you can run BF in BG.. but not BG in BF?

                      Nope. The mounting tabs at the bottom end of the strut don't match up at all. Topmounts are close but mods needed. When I found need to run the suspenders from my old gtx on my protege, I had to play games to make em fit.
