Spring kits

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.

Be the "first" to install some Mazda3 Tein S-Techs!! Or Eibach has some soon-to-be released Sportline Springs...
I'm considering S-Tech's. Depends on the spring rate though.

i should have pics of a speed on the MS springs a member here installed them this weekend and says they dropped it perfect and rides great.
Pics would be great. Thanks Josh.

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?

I have sent pics to Josh, for posting, and I have pics in the Gallery also.. Under the Mazda Speed 3 (Coolbrz)
I'd say those make the car look just about perfect. I like the spacing all around the wheels.
Not too much of a difference... Any full side pics?

I'll take some, and get them on the site.

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

What wheel/tire package are you running?

ACE 205 215/45/18x7.5
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.
