Well yea, It seems pretty straight forward (not that id do it myself) but by seeing the install into my car, i really dont c why a normal mechanic would have trouble doing it. oh well, i think they just lazy and could not be bothered.It aint rocket science!

Finally got them on!
Its much stiffer than the lowered springs that I had but are more comfortable because they didnt bottom out on large humps and SCRAPPPPE!
I have all of friday off so I will give it a harder drive!

Just took it out for an absolute smashing on Bells Line of Road!
I must say I'm very impressed with the results of my purchase! It rides much better than lowered springs ever will!
The car handled very well with its stock suspension and now with the Teins, it handles like a dream. You can smash it from every single dimension and it still manages to hold up!
Once I get the EDFC, I will be able to fine tune it to a better degree from the comfort of the cockpit.
The tires stick to the road like glue and once i get my new rims and rubber, its going to be an absolute weapon at winton!
Oh and I just ordered my bodykit!

I deceided to go on the Mazdaspeed Concept kit.
I havent seen anybody else on the net have it as of yet so I reckon itd be pretty unique here in aus!
Heres some pics!
ATM, only the front bar exists in the aftermarket industry so im going to have to stick with original mazdaspeed sides and rear.
Im thinking of going for the whole black and red theme so im thinking of doing the rear slightly differently instead of the whole boring same colour.

the mazdaspeed 2 kit is the kit I like the least. the lines just don't match-up.
there looks like there are some major differences between the accolade kit and the mazdaspeed design. the mazdaspeed design has more curves in it which blends to the car better.

the more I look at it, the mazdaspeed 2 is growing on me, but the accolade kit isn't the same shape.
have a look at the .jp rx-8 m'z tune side-skirts, they are closer to the mazdaspeed concepts.

because they didnt make the sideskirts, they had to make the kit sharper looking to match the original mazdaspeed skirts
the concept bumper has a more rounded face. I like the look of the sharper front!
