Looking for suspension/comfort recommendations for a 2016 Mazda 3 BM sedan

Hey everyone!

I have a 2016 Mazda 3 BM sedan(my first car) and I'm looking to improve the ride comfort, especially on cobblestone roads, potholes and generally poor roads.

My current setup:

  • 2016 Mazda 3 BM sedan
  • 17" wheels
  • I don't know the exact mileage/age of the current suspension components
  • Suspension is currently stock as far as I know
  • No major suspension issues that I'm aware of

The car feels quite harsh over cobblestones and potholes. I can feel a lot of the road through the cabin, and sharper bumps can feel pretty unpleasant.

I'm considering replacing the shocks/struts, but I'm not sure whether that would actually make a significant difference or whether I should be looking at other suspension components first.

What would you recommend replacing/upgrading for the biggest improvement in comfort?

If you've owned a Mazda 3 BM/BN and have actually improved the ride comfort, I'd really appreciate hearing what parts you changed and how much difference it made.

Thanks!
