I run 70%, cops haven't cared so far but it's so light where it's more of a UV protector and boy does it help!

Here's 3 of the 3!(lol2)
what is your suspension setuP?
Mazdaspeed lowering springs for the Mazda 3 (Eibach Pro-kit equivalent), Yellow Koni Sport adjustable shocks/struts, Mazdaspeed rear camber arms, and Racing Beat swaybars on both the front and rear with Racing Beat endlinks up front and OEM Mazdaspeed 3 rear endlinks.
And Erika, I got the grille off of ebay from Kakumei Motorsports. Check out post #221 on this thread:

That post should answer most of your questions! I really like it. It makes mine different from everyone else's 3 around this part of Nebraska. Just gotta be different I guess!
Here's a pic of the rear suspension:

My hatch as it is now. I am looking at some new changes in the not so distant future.
only good shot was the last one
So how is the ride quality with those Koni adjustable shocks and the MS3 springs?

thanks alot!
Surprisingly, really good!! I was expecting the ride to be super-stiff so I left my Koni's on the softest setting and have since dialed the fronts up 1/2 a turn to a stiffer setting. It's only a little bit stiffer (as far as feeling the bumps in the road) of a ride than stock. I'm very pleased with the way it rides and especially handles. Those Racing Beat sways are 247% stiffer than stock! Corners sooooo much better than it did before! Doesn't lean at all, it just goes!(2thumbs)
BTW, the springs are NOT MS3 springs. They are Mazdaspeed accessory lowering springs for the Mazda 3. They lower the car a bit more than stock MS3 springs.

Looks good Fang !!
Looks really good Fang! Your grille was the kind I was originally searching for but couldn't find! Where did you get yours? Is that the optional Mazdaspeed accessory grille?
Love the lip too! Really liked the way it looked on Tigermack's 3. Was wondering what it would look like with an open mouth grille--now I know! Sweet!!
Lowering springs next?! That'll look mean as hell! Nice ride!(2thumbs)
