Well, I just grabbed about 2k for myself to spend due to the Mazda rebate program...but now I hear MS gear is excluded. I will probably wait a week or two until that clears up...but if it doesn't, what should I get from Vivid, seeing that he's got it all =)

I was thinking...

Konig Theories (grey metal) or 5zigen (dark grey) (both 18")
Drilled/slotted rotors

Or...
The above mentioned wheels
Racing Beat Catback

OR
Drilled/slotted rotors
RB catback
...?

 

I'd vote for "The above mentioned wheels" and "Racing Beat Catback," unless you'd rather go for performance... in which case, I'd drop the wheels for now and get a flywheel.

 

Hmm...that may be a good idea. I'd really rather add to performance at this point, as I like the look of the stock car (although it will be heavily modified as time goes on.)

I was planning on going for the full MS suspension...I suppose I could still do that, minus the 20% rebate.

 

Spazm,
Honesly I wouldn't wast the money on the MS suspension. You could do much better with aftermarket offerings like JIC, or Tein. PM me or send me an email and I can help you figure out what would best suit your needs. Besides, that's what I'm here for!

E-mail sent.

 

Got your email.

 

Alright, after a good 10 hours of just pouring over all the different stuff, this is what I came up with....I'll compare with what Huff comes up with for good measure.

Tein S-Tech Springs $186
Clear Corners $70 $256
Racing Beat Catback $595 $851
Canzoomer $600 $1451
RB Rear Sway $155 $1606
RB Front Sway $179 $1785
Sway Bar End links $48 $1833

 

Soooo what did you end up getting? I've got a similar amount of money coming to me. (yearly bonus) My indecisive mind hasn't a clue what to by for the 8. Don't worry, Huff I'll be giving you a ring shortly.

 

you might as well just spend the extra $54 and get the RB springs instead of Tein...unless the Teins give a bigger drop than RB (I honestly don't know) and that's what you're looking for...

 

I got ...

Tein S-Tech Springs
Clear Corners
Racing Beat Catback
RB Rear Sway
RB Front Sway
Agency Power End links

Dropped the CZ because I feel its not quite as reliable at this point as I'd like, or even proven.

The springs weren't about the money...the RB springs only drop the car about 1/4" which isn't nearly as much as I would like. The S-Techs will drop it about 1.4".

 

Oh, and somehow I ended up with the Agency Power rear/front brake lines as well...

Since Huff is so persuasive :D
