It's stupid to have two threads for a white paint that just changed name. This has been the white thread for ages.

I used 20mm spacers from Ichiba. Any more and the rims would extend past the guards.

Looking Nice, what spring are you on?, stock struts? and I would guess 25mm in the back would be fine, front looks flush enought

Looks great. Did the handling. Hangs with the spacers?
I also agree that there should be just one white color forum. When did they change the name of the color?

He's on Eibach springs, stock struts, 25mm would be perfect all around and it's an Australian GT which is esentially like our R3. Sucks they always get the better cars.

Damn smart phone
I really hate typing from my "smart" phone. What I meant to ask was...since installing the spacers, how is the handling? Did it change much? Better or worse?

Looks good - I'd vote airdam. I think it looks clean on the WWP.

Mazdaspeed is expensive and hard to find nowadays. I still like the oem appearance package.
