i thought about it, and there are pits out there im 90% sure. lol. they have those little patios that have them. i think a BBQ would work better but i designate someone else to cook. ha ha i just ordered my rotary brake light so imma try and get that installed and i have a few other little mods up my sleeve that imma try and get done by then.

Mazdaspeed: spring rates 280/190 - Drop = 0.8"/0.8"
plus planning on running the konis at 3/4 of the stiffness and see how that rides out. the rears have to be removed to be adjusted so hope it's close to what i want right off the batt

twiztid thats a great purchase ive heard the ride with them is amazing and look wise they make the stance of the car so agressive! cant wait to see them. Ryan im down for a photoshoot whenever im in town, ill actually be back in town this weekend for a wedding but i dunno if ill have much time. But ill prolly sneak out saturday before the meet and take some pics, if you wanna go i can wait till you get off but the pics wont be as good as there will be shadows. we will have to mess around and see what we can figure out. i dunno if ill have my trunk shaved by then but im trying to do that and add a little more bass to the ride, not that i need more or anything, and hopefully ill have my rotary brake light installed by then.

If you want tein s techs wait until saturday when we take pics and just look at my car_ that's what I'm on and if I went any lower I wouldn't have a front bumper. I already have cracks on the front from where I bottom out. I actually had to put the stock springs back in the rear, with my custom sub setup weighing to much and the springs in my fender literally sat on my tires so if you can just find front springs you can have my rear ones. Lol now wish me luck as I go fail this spanish 3000 exam! Ha ha

1 PM is just fine with me. i think eating somewhere will be better than BBQ, theres no clean up and less time.

Twiztid that drop looks nice, very agressive! and im sure they prolly havent even settled all the way yet.
