That's looking real nice. But drop it, at least on Mazdaspeed spring to fill the wheel gap.

Looks great, peel those door mouldings!
dropped
jk !
I like it with the standard gap. Some of us need the extra ride height.. (even if a little drop looks better). I just can't see navigating a foot of snow in a dropped 5 (though it mike make a bit of a plow)
Given enough speed, the 5 would more than push the snow right over the top (laugh)... however if you're trying ride atop the snow, you might get high centered.
I'd opt for keeping the 5 planted (lowered), and pushing snow over the top (rockon)

Looks good, and yeah, lowering is a not an option for me either, the ride for the family is already "stiff" enough all OEM 
, but maybe a taller tire might help the gap (and the ride)?
That is what I did with the 06 (17in of course), less gap and the ride is a little bit smoother...

I am in the same boat. Wife isnt into the drop all that much but loves the difference the upgraded Rear Sway made so she is willing to try it out. I need the drop bad!
looks great. i am on 17's with a little taller tire. looks lowered now anyways esp. with the body kit on it. im not lowering the car but im putting on koni FSD, autoexe braces, sways, etc. get way better handling with no cost to bump ride. very smart family setup.
