Ya, I m leaving coilovers for next year. the seat I m getting is the sparco fighter. I just think its the best price/performance seat available today. Bride has some nice seats but they are expansiivveeee. lol. ya I love the mazdaspeed shock/springs as well. They feel muuchhh better from the stock setup.

I got the basic one sparco Spirt ? I got a good deal $240
the fighter was like over $500, right?

Get some sway bars, they work well with the mazdaspeed shock/springs
Stocks has a lot of body roll

I dont think those knee pads are meant for the door panel, I thought it was for the center. +1 to what these other guys are saying, decals and "roof air diverters" or whatever the hell need to go. I like the wheels though.

haha, I have a big dent on my credit card right now. lol. I mean ...biggggg. The good thing is that my rent is only $400 a month so I can pay it off in some respectable time.

I ll let u know how the eibach kit feels but I dont really have anything to compare it to, except the stock suspension.

The turbo is really tempting but I just dont have any more $$ right now. maybe next year!? we ll see ...

haha, oh ya man. I know that felling.

I got the kneepads from ebay. They are really cheap and they work great. U can hit em, push em and they still feel very soft. Helps a lot if ve got the leather seat.
