Just got my Speed3 slammed to the ground..

How is it going over bumps? Any rubbing from the tires?

I go slow over the bumps, especially up my driveway. No rubbing on the tires...but yeah, I have to consider all those factors when I drive now...it's all good.

 

[Sacrilicious]

You think they're ugly....I don't.

+1

that and half of us got our cars for the utility it gives over one-trick ponies that just go really freakin fast. if i biked, i would have a rack up there in a heartbeat, cause i sure as HELL don't intend to walk my bike to the trail...+_+;

ya, i wish i could get away with getting new springs, but where i live, potholes are more like craterholes...it's not good! (bang)

Looks lower in the rear than the front...Tell me the trunk was full?

Funny, I noticed that too...it's doesn't look that way when it's passengerless...hmmm, I think it may be due to the nature of the slope on my driveway....i don't know.....


I once saw a dropped car with a logo sticker across his rear window that said "Too Low for Fat Hoes"....I thought that was funny...

 

[ForceFed]

I used to have one that Read.."No bags, No Switches, No Fat Bitches"
Yeah..I was young and dumb..But I got a lot of laughs from it...and a lot of fingers.

I'm more interested in looks when it comes to lowering my cars. Not really into going to the drag strip to race....anyhow here are some pics of my recently lowered speed3 using Eibach Sportlines made for the conventional Mazda 3 since Eibach decided not to make springs for the speed3. I also installed an Injen Cold Air Intake and that's about all I'm gonna do to it.

Ive got eibach prokit springs in my 3MPS (mazdaspeed3 to you guys).
The ones i have are specific to the Mazda 3MPS, they are listed on the Eibachs European and Australian websites.

Ive attached a picture of the part number thats on the box and a couple of my car with the springs in.

i really wish i could have gotten my car in that shade of blue...

 

[Young Roids]

That blue is 100x better than the cosmic blue in the states.

 

[jbiird317]

i think the reason it looks lower in the back than the front is because the natural lines of the car are in that direction, people tell me that about my car all the time

That's one fine car
(burnout)
I wish my Cosmic Blue could be that Blue.

Very nice! Great job (I need to do that on my 3 bad).

I love when a simple mod like springs has such a positive impact on a car...Looks like a bullet now...NICE! (thumb)

 

[MS3TR]

Looks good! I used to have sportlines and I loved how they looked but I rubbed under aggressive driving (lots of fun roads in NC). Be careful, I'm pretty sure I blew my stock shocks while using the sportlines from Eibach. I think the drop might be too much for them. The handling got worse and worse and they started to squeak quite a bit, thats when I jumped ship to the MS Coilovers. Looks great though man, best of luck (thumb)

Looks very good! I would love to do that too, but have speed mountains all over near my house ; ;

Thanks, I also have a 1991 VW Cabriolet that's got the sportlines, all my bumpers are scratched up but I don't really care. It looks great. I just scratched the rear bumper on the Speed3 but I look at them as battle wounds...(drive2)

 

[palerider]

Did you align it yet? Howd it go?

I took it to an auto tuning shop and they dropped it and aligned it for $200 in about an hour and a half.

 

[AG DesignWorks]

That blue > Cosmic blue. By alot.

That's a great looking drop Aussie.

 

[discharmingman]

That blue is 100x better than the cosmic blue in the states.

I don't know if I would agree with that. Kinda reminds me of the Honda Fit color....

I may be wrong, but there is no other car color that resembles the Cosmic Blue in the States....
