Once again, I don't mean to be a jerk, but this isn't a thread for cats who think a 19 year old doesn't think their car is low enough to recieve a number. If you have to worry about speedbumps, bumper damage and your oil pan you're just too low, mate.

That 19 year old is a prick.

Here is a quick shot of the waggin

The first Mazda 6 with Mazdaspeed Springs for the wagon & hatch and Mazdaspeed swaybars as well. One of the original test mules for Mazdaspeed. ASA Wheels 18 X 7 Yokohama Parada Spec II's 225/40/18

Quoted for pure awesomeness! Love the wagon Marlon....as of right now if the P5 died today a 6wagon would be the replacement.

View attachment 176216View attachment 176215Just did my 3 last night, its lowarrr but very mild, aprox 1" drop rear .5-.75" drop in front. Stock Struts, 1st gen MS3 springs.

First image is of it stock, 2nd is after it was lowered. the springs are a few MM thicker in coil diameter, and 1.5" shorter. still had to compress them while i was installing.

Difference in ride: next to none, slightly stiffer and more feeling for the roads coming on and off exit ramps. For city driving, i like it, no complaints.

Looks a bit better...front still looks stock to me, then again I know you were not going for looks with the drop. Time to get a CS strut bar and rsb to help stiffen things up a bit more.

Back is down enough, it keeps settling more and more, the front is just enough clearance for the deadly parking lot concrete bumper killers. The strut bar and rear lower bars will be within the next year...however thats put on the back burner because i just got the wife a MK4 golf 5speed for a city car (vs the Yukon) and we have Jetta gunmetal wheels already and a Rokkr Coilover kit (w/struts and shocks) to replace the blown struts on it currently. then of course some tint and she be set.

Fun fun...pockets aint empty!...not yet atleast

i just measured, from the same spot im exactly 1" higher than mglavina @ 4".
i cant clear those curbs, and the new place im moving to has a steep driveway, i have to get it JUUUUUUST right not to scrape...
moving there is gonna be a daily test of my patience. lol

Thanks, I could probably get a better shot/angle with a cleaner pic too haha. I just made it a habit to clean the engine every time I clean the exterior so it stays decent .

Nah my car is low enough now lol... I'm not really slammed so I thought this was the place for me. I'm not stretching or poking, or worrying about the oil pan or anything... just showing abit of bumper damage, nothing compared to what some of the slammed guys have.

Nice looking black MS6 mglavina, and that 3 looks sick Fiji mazda3.

Thanks man

i scrape every morning coming out of my driveway, im used to it by now lol

 

[batou079]

i cringe every time... for you, its the actual lip... for me its the just the bottom of the air splitter... so my scrape isnt nearly as obvious dmg wise... but i still cringe. lol

 

[batou079]
