I want to lower my car ASAP. Don't want to go coilovers. What spring kits are available? The Mazdaspeed springs don't really have much of a drop (0.5").

Hmm, Corksport has the Autoexe springs with 30mm drop. That sounds like a reasonable option.

I'm considering S-Tech's. Depends on the spring rate though.

The MS spring kit comes with the rear camber links, right? Does that make the rear camber any more or less adjustable, or does it just add positive camber back in?

It adds the positive camber back in, the ride is still comfortable and the car handles a lot better.

Thanks. Was hoping you'd say 235/40-18 with +45 offset. 
Been trying to figure out if the springs + camber links would help with trying to fit the wider tires without fender rolling. I guess the answer is no.
I still like the ever-so-slightly lowered look tho. Don't like the super tucked look.

I understand, the Springs are made by Eibach with Mazda spec's. I will get some more pics tomorrow, got home late and it was dark.

dont cheat yourself get coil overs there more expensive but youll get more out of them then just springs and the drop will be fully adjustable if thats all you care about if you care about turning hard aswell then if you do anything but coil overs your wasting your time and money.
:lol: The longest sentences with the most sequential "if"s I've ever read.
just messin w/ya.
About the coilovers, I don't completely agree. A well-matched pair of springs and shocks can go a LONG way if your goals are within reason. While the adjustability of coilovers is nice to have, the majority of consumers just don't take full advantage of them, nor do many of them even play with height adjustments as often to make it worth the extra cost.

Not too much of a difference... Any full side pics?

yeah there really isn't much differnce. also we have to remember the car is already lowered 10mm with stock MS springs.
I've been looking at sum Mz3 coilover kits. I'm thinking bout getting one
