How long do you think it will take for parts to be made to lower the car.....Springs...etc...

does anyone know what would be a good drop??

 

[funkyfreshmonke]

depends on how high the demand is for springs etc. =D...hopefully within 3-6 months...im ancy to mod my car but not right wen i drive it off hte lot

 

[nonofx]

Looks nice....where did you get the parts? Where are you from.....how much did it run you??

That's the Mazda spring kit (European market). Around $180 as nonofx says.

If this kit is just the springs (assuming from the price)...do you think that we will see the tell-tale bounce of the car after a year or so using this spring kit?

Sorry, I don't know any technical data about the spring rates (before or after lowering). All I know is the four original dampers have large diameter (35mm) pistons, and the rear dampers is vertical and not angled unlike Mazda6's.

not bad for $180... where can u get it?

 

[Nuvada]

corksport.com's got some springs and coilovers for sale

 

[Erv187]

How much do the coilovers cost at Corksport?

Hi

Am new to cars. Has anyone tried lowering the stock suspension of the M3? Do advise.

 

[Nuvada]

says to call for pricing on the coilovers, only price they've got is for the AUTO EXE springs @ $365

 

[vaBooM]

H&R has coils for $315. I hear in another month Eibach will have both the Pro kit and Sportline kit.

 

[Nuvada]

I'd wait for the Eibach's, or better yet, we need to talk a company into producing an air ride for these babies

And good custom suspension installer can make you a set. Not very many imports have "kits" made for them. They are usually 100% custom.

 

[Nuvada]

true, but you get up enough interest and SOMEBODY's bound to want to cash in

 

[vaBooM]

is rather expensive. I know someone who got custom air-ride in his C230, and had the fenders worked on to fit 20x9s.

It rides ok... i much rather have a good set of struts/springs or coilovers.

Hi Seth! I saw your posts on the Protege board too. You should read at least the first post in a thread before you repeat it. I also suggest the search function to find things, then post.

Wow! I'm all warm and fuzzy inside now. Another Evil MOD in training!
