Service on a lowered 8?
Which Mazda Dealer has type of service like jify lube that they can check my Engine without jack up my 8. For the Recall, I went Puente Hills , Covina , Alharmbra but they all refuse to touch my 8 . . . cuz i got MS kit and Tein Flex suspension. 
wonder how other lower 8s done their recall !?

To do the recall they really shouldnt need to put your car on a lift. you can replace the plugs from the top as well as through the drivers side wheel well area. We do them all the time, mostly ones with the mazdaspeed kits. Not sure what the problem is.

i haven't done the recall yet, but...
do you have your stock front still? i suggest u put the stock front on and take it in. since our cars have kits and are lowered, service is going to scrape it if they do it the regular way. stock front will give the dealer an easier time at getting the car up.
i tend to stay away from the dealers in our area, maybe go down to tustin or browning.
