Thanks for the compliments. I think ms drops like 1.2" or something, i love how it handles so i can deal with the higher front. I got the springs/shocks at http://www.rx8garage.net/ really great to buy from really nice guy if any of you need anything i recommend it.

If I may make a suggestion: Everything about your car totally rocks, but I think strakes would add almost a finishing touch to your car. With clear corners, black rims, and the rear/side under body spoiler you need some definition around the wheels. The strakes are perfect for that and would make it look that much better.
Nice car.
Nice car.

thank you, i've never really been a fan of strakes tho...but maybe if someone developed a cool new black piece that goes by the wheelwell where the strakes go i would buy it, something that kind of flares out but i've seen pictures with strakes on the forum here and i just havent been a fan.

In order to get the best of both worlds, the lowering effect and the superb handling, wouldnt this solution work......
We know Tein S tech springs provide the perfect drop, and MAZDASPEED shocks provide the best handling (excluding coilovers) so............ cant we add the ms shocks with the tein springs and get the best of both worlds????
This is exactly what i want to do, but nobody has ever confirmed is this would work, and if the tein springs would still provide the same drop (1.4" front and .7" rear) Would the drop of the teins change is one used the MS shocks???????
PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ sumone give me the answer ive been looking for for the last 4 months, WOULD THIS SET UP WORK??????????
Thx, alex

they just seem higher in the front because the wheel well is bigger/larger in the front and the rear fender flare makes it seem lower in the rear.
