maybe because you slammed thread folks know about going lower?
The Moderately Low (Not Slammed) and Functional Thread
- Thread starter THE Phen
- Start date
Many of us don't have coilovers, and those that do aren't as low as possible. Why wouldn't I tell someone to talk to them for advice. Problem is most of them would have some sort of smart ass answer for a "dumb question." Nothing against them, of course.
Coilovers aren't required for functionality. Hell, my P5 is a grocery getter that hauls my bikes around, as well as other stuff. That's it's functional purpose.

i agree that they may know better. functionally low means you are probably working within the normal capacities of your springs/struts/coilovers/suspension. a lot of the slammed guys are augmenting these things in order to go beyond what they are initially designed to do. if you've reached the end of the threads on your coilovers and want to go lower ask the slammed boys...
edit- aralliius, don't know if you are talking about me... but i'll say thanks anyway!

thats probably the safest way to go lower... but 3" off the ground I wouldn't call "pretty high up"... maybe thats just me.

well yeah I'm pretty sure they can go lower justanothermp5. Thing is mine are the second gen kontrols and as much as I like the minor changes and updates I hate now they moved the sway bar endlink connection to this black bar that is around the shock body, I'll take a picture of what I'm talking about. It is in the way and taking a whole inch of thread, not to mention this design is kinda flimsy in my opinion. It locks by a tiny allen screw... And i've had it ome lose before. Broke my endlink and damaged my sway bar
I am 3 inches off the ground from the exhaust pipe-_- I'm raked right now but I know I can go lower in the rear, I just want the front to go lower first because I want to keep my 1/4 inch rakeness

if your exhaust pipe is 3" off the ground then you are slammed already!
Here is my contribution 
I'm on Tein S -techs and Volk GT-F's 18x8 +33 Front and 18x9 +27 rear with 245/40-18's all the way around
It's good to see some nice Mazda's here. I used to own a very clean MSP.

I'm not big on the wheel style, but the stance definitely looks great! Part of me still wants an 8.
