Front springs — aftermarket brands and prices

Tags: #springs · #price · #part-number · #fitment

LINX SC1590 fitment (2025): LINX SC1590 front springs are compatible and fit stock X80 suspension mounts without modification. Recommendation: always buy new damper dust-boot seals (piston rod boots) when replacing springs, as they frequently tear during removal/installation. Context/date: 2025-05-02 ¹.

SUFIX SZ1303 — confirmed direct fit, no modification: SUFIX-brand yellow front coil springs, part SZ1303 (also written SZ-1303, "20% stiffer" per the seller's listing), are confirmed to fit the X80 without cutting or welding. Reported pricing: ~3,600 RUB (RU market, July 2025) per pair as of 2025-07-28, sourced from the chitparts/kitparts online retailer. Perceived effect: raises the front stance and improves overall appearance. Conflict: this contradicts part of the coil-count note above where Mazda 6 springs were mentioned as an option with fit issues — SUFIX SZ1303 is the option the community confirms works without caveats ²³.

SUFIX SZ1303 — additional install confirmations (Oct–Nov 2025): further owners confirm the SUFIX SZ1303 yellow front spring noticeably raises the front and holds its height ⁴⁵⁶⁷, adding to the SUFIX SZ1303 fitment already documented above; one later report specifically reconfirms fitment on the restyle (facelift) body ⁸.

Front spring cross-fit — further Mazda GG/GH dispute and compression data (Dec 2025): a fresh round of the GG-vs-GH cross-fit disagreement: one owner assumed the front springs sold as SUFIX SZ1303 are the Mazda GH part number ⁹; Sergey Arapkin disputes any blanket rule, noting that neither GG nor GH springs universally seat correctly on the X80 strut — fitment varies by the specific spring, not simply by generation ¹⁰. A seller/owner adds that Mazda 6 has roughly six different spring variants across its production run (consistent with the earlier model-year note on this card) and confirms, after considerable difficulty ("on the metro in a bag"), that the specific SUFIX SZ1303 spring does fit the restyle ¹¹. Another owner reports riding on SUFIX springs since summer 2025 with no sagging ¹², and a third notes they kept their old struts when fitting these springs, in hindsight considering the new struts they'd bought unnecessary ¹³. A press-compression test comparing stock and SUFIX springs found: stock front spring compresses at ~500kg load, SUFIX (yellow) at ~700kg — but on a vibration-table test the SUFIX springs actually rode slightly softer despite the higher static compression rating ¹⁴; one buyer reports being told at purchase that these springs were "reinforced" ¹⁵.

Front spring and bushing sourcing — Moscow, KitParts/Ozon (Dec 2025): for sourcing front springs together with related bushings (upper control-arm silentblocks, rear longitudinal-arm silentblocks) in Moscow: SUFIX SZ1303 (yellow) front springs are suggested as fitting the restyle ¹⁶, and the community's pinned product links (Ozon) are recommended as a starting point for both springs and silentblocks ¹⁷¹⁸.

Other replacement front spring options compared (March 2026): besides Sufix SZ1303 (~5,300–5,500 RUB/pair on Wildberries, RU market, most proven in the community with consistent positive reports), other 14mm wire-rate alternatives include OBK C5Z7971 (~7,500 RUB) and ST119063F (~8,000 RUB); Turkish-made 14mm springs are also available via Chip-Dip for ~5,500 RUB/pair. Higher-rate springs than stock may require rebalancing with matched shock absorbers to avoid an overly stiff ride ^19202122.

LYNX SC 1590 — alternative sourcing channel (May 2025): when official front springs were unavailable, one owner successfully sourced a replacement through the LYNX SC 1590 brand — a Chinese supplier who provided the complete original-spec spring assembly (spring plus spring cups) for 4,800 RUB (RU market, May 2025). The export restrictions cited as the reason for unavailability were described as temporary at the time ²³²⁴.

Standard Springs ST119063F — 14mm aftermarket, requires press to install: Standard Springs ST119063F (cross-referenced to FAW part 5CA134011) are 14mm-thick springs (vs 13mm stock) with roughly 25% more coils than the factory spring. Price: 9,533₽ (April 2026). Installing them without a proper spring compressor is very difficult — cable ties alone are not enough; a pneumatic press at 2.5 atm is recommended, and a rubber support piece must be placed under the spring cup during installation ^25262728.

Sukhoi 1303 springs — thicker aftermarket, direct fit, ~3hr install per side: Sukhoi 1303 springs are a cross-brand front replacement option. They look visibly thicker than the OEM spring (roughly 13–13.5mm rod diameter), fit directly without modification, and can be installed one side at a time in about 3 hours per side. After installation, the suspension became higher and softer, handling improved on rough surfaces, and there was no noise at speed over bumps; measurement showed roughly 13mm rod diameter on both OEM and the Sukhoi spring ^{2930313233343536}.

Turkish 14mm-rod spring — stiffer, more body-roll control, more lift: a separate Turkish-made spring option with a 14mm rod diameter is noticeably stiffer than OEM, significantly reduces body roll in corners, and raises ride height more than the other aftermarket alternatives on this card ³⁷³⁸.

SUFIX SZ1303 front springs — yellow, direct fit, ~1 year positive feedback: SUFIX-brand front springs (yellow-painted, part SZ1303) fit FAW Besturn X80 stock struts without modification. Multiple owners confirm successful fitment and roughly a year of trouble-free operation. They're slightly stiffer than OEM. Installation note: at the shop, these springs compress harder during fitting (need more force/load) than OEM, and afterward the front sits noticeably higher — some owners added rear spacers (+20mm) to level the resulting front/rear height imbalance (see the rear springs card for that spacer fix). Overall considered suitable for daily driving and moderate loads ^394041424344.

Front spring replacement pricing — dealer quote vs. LYNXauto alternative (June 2024): when a front spring breaks, KitZapchasti quoted 24,000₽ (June 2024) for a complete replacement kit/pair. LYNXauto SC-1590 springs (already documented above as a confirmed direct-fit option) are available on Ozon as a substantially cheaper alternative to that dealer-kit price ⁴⁵⁴⁶⁴⁷.

Front spring cross-brand sourcing example — Mazda 6 (GH), JAPKO ZCJ3346A: as one purchase example (order history screenshot) for a front-spring cross-brand alternative, a JAPKO ZCJ3346A front spring for Mazda 6 (GH), 2007–2013 was ordered by an owner researching replacement options ⁴⁸.

SUFIX Mazda 6 front kit. A SUFIX front spring kit (2 pieces) for the Mazda 6 Atenza Saloon (GG) 2002-2008 2.3 was shown in a marketplace screenshot at about 5,593 RUB (RU market, Oct 2026), marked out of stock ⁴⁹. Миша, who fitted these springs, says they are more than enough and have stood for two years ⁵⁰; Тимур also fitted them and calls them good springs ⁵¹. Миша's one complaint is not the springs: his non-original struts are Mazda-analog Zekkert units, thinner than the FAW originals, and although new they cannot take full compression, so speed bumps must be crossed slowly or the rebound hits hard ⁵². Николай Цветков fitted rubber bump stops (буфера) and says they are coping with the problem so far ⁵³.
