listen to thebigdaddy. I posted some pictures of my car not too long ago. I was advised to lower the car, so i did. I got the tein s-tech springs for 175.00 dollars and had a friend of the family install them for 75 dollars. I must admit that it made my car look totally different. The ride is smoother, and the handling is better. I will post before and after picture this weekend after i wash it. Nice mods btw

looks nice and clean. the splitters look out of place to me but that's just my opinion. the only other thing that looks off is the system. placement could be better since it looks like it was just randomly placed. nice pics though.

Please lower. With the 19s you don't need to get silly with it either. Espelir, Racing Beat springs would be perfect.

i also vote for lowering

if youre going turbo, why not get a 3" exhaust like HKS Hi-Power, TurboXS, or AAM, etc?

Much prefer the lowered looked, as do myself. Thus that was my first mod. Too much gap in the front.

+ 1 on the exhaust. HKS hi power single outlet seems to me more reasonable for turbo.

oh, +1 on the lowering too, I would go with Mazdaspeed shock/spring instead of racing beat, a little to conservative for me at a half inch, but just my opinion

Thanks for the hint!!

Yeah i like em too. i was not too sure but after putting them on i was very impressed, pics dont do justice how good it looks.

LOWER IT DAMN IT
see , the reason i dont want to lower it is because my back wheels are really fat almost 10" so anytime i have 4 people int the car and i find big bumps in the road, the tires will barely touch the inner fender (which its barely a scratch) I just hate when i hear that..... so if I lower it.. i dont want to even think about how much more it wil touch.
Do you think i will look funny if I only lower it in the front?
thanks
