Post pics of your lowered 2nd Gen Mazda3

Dropped it last night. More pics. The weather outside is bad so I can't get any decent pics. Note, not fully settled.

sweet, the wheel gap is less for sure, take a couple with a good cam in a week or so after it settles a bit
 
looks awesome, nynhex.

are you planning on tinting the head & tail lights?

Headlights are being sprayed (housings) asap. Possibly this weekend when I have the time to bake them apart.

The tails have already been done (hatch are still blacked out) but I got (2) tickets for them not being bright enough so I don't rock them anymore. Just the J-Spec tails for now.
 
That rear wheel arch on the 2010s just doesn't look right, and it doesn't help when lowered. Look at the shape of the 2010 STI 5 door rear wheel arch for a better shape. Or, better yet, the 1st gen MS3. :-/

Opinions... you know the saying.

nice, look forward to seeing pics
 
That looks good, but there is still too much wheel gap for my taste. Let us know how it rides after they settle.
 
they're protypes but Tanabe says they'll most likely be the GF's meaning the spring rate was slightly raised (less than 5%). they're supposed to be a mild drop but still comfortable for daily driving

it rides like stock except when you hit dips, then you'll notice how much lower they are.
