2010 mazdaspeed3
Hello all

New to this forum. Ive had my 2010 mazdaspeed 3 for about 3 years now. Still stock but thinking about changing that very soon. Love my ride and havent had any big problems with close to 70, 000 miles and going (wrc)

I think I want so start by giving it a good look since I'm not a big mechanic. Maybe springs to start since a good drop always looks good. Then maybe install small parts that I can do myself such as a high flow intake And maybe look into some other ideas from different people. And hopefully take some suggestions . I see you have quite a few things on yours . How are the eibach springs working out? :)
 
The Eibach's are good. They are moderate lowering and have very good ride quality. As far as intake systems, there are many options. My suggestions are the SURE Aeros Full3(SRI & TIP in one unit), Cpe Nano SRI,K&N SRI and Cobb SRI. A Rear Motor Mount(RMM) is a must for this car, to keep the motor from moving around and getting the power to the ground.
 
springs will blow stock shocks in short order. Especially stock shocks with 77k miles on them already. Be careful dropping this car. Go too low and it bounces. Lose too much wheel travel and your handling will suffer.

You have a lot of research to do, so do it! I suggest going to msf.org and reading around. But tread lightly if you're going to post there. Lots of threads with info available in sticky form!

Thanks for the info. I am in the process of buying some H&R springs with 1.3" front drop and 1.2" rear drop. $170 total. I might not install them until i need new shocks and just do it all together. I will look into those intake systems. Thanks again

Thanks for the information. I did figure i would most likely need new shocks especially after so many miles. I will definitely look into everything before i install anything. I will check ou the website. Thank you

Koni Yellow struts and shocks, would be a good match for the H&R springs.
