on the tire, it will always say the max psi. 50 is max but that doesnt mean you have to inflate it to 50 psi. For P5 with stock 195/50s the manuf. suggests 32psi for handling, gas mileage and ride comfort. With 205/50s, I set mine at 34psi.

I paid $13,598.00 plus tax and license back in 12-2002. Its an 03 and only had 22 miles on it. :)

205/50-16 looks "perfect" IMHO. I have the Yokohama ES100 205/50s and it looks good.

Thanks Moonman. I was gonna go with AWR 21.5 but the price is almost twice as much as the Progress. Super Protege, I believe the stock front bar is 22mm and the rear is 17mm...

anyone???

IMO P5 looks better than ES... If you want the sedan get the used Msp or Mp3.

I am considering replacing the stock rear sway bars w/ the 22mm Progress in the P5. Does the stock endlinks needs to be replaced too or is it ok to use? Any recommendations where to buy the bar online is appreciated. I've seen them as low as $134 online.. Any vendor here?. Thanks. BTW my set...

If youre talking about a 325is with equal driver ( even an auto) you won't have chance... (RWD close to 50/50 wieght dist)

I have the SR Motorsport catback....Very subtle look and quiet. The sound is very similar to Racingbeat catback. Deep tone at idle and nice growl at WOT.

Sounds like you have the MP3 / MS Protege exhaust.

you maybe right too. I think it is Bosal. Are they made in S. Africa?I got confused when I was typing it earlier cause a coworker was talking about his Stromung exhaust in his BMW...and I just come to think Strumung is German..who knows... But definitely not made by Racing Beat.

The Mazdaspeed or mazda sport exhaust (axle-back)you find at the dealer is not made by Racingbeat. Theyre made in S. Africa by Stromung (??)..this is what a local Mazda dealer told me. And they are not the same mufflers that came w/ MP3 and Mazdaspeed Protege which is made by Racing Beat.

In California, I think they start switching to winter gas in November and switch back to summer formula in May. (I think) And that's when the gas prices goes back up again :(

yep 52k out of those Dunlops... I was so glad when I had to replace them. I love the the Yokohama ES100. I actually tried the 205/45 at first and I didnt like the way it looked. I know 5mm height is not much but w/ the 45's my car looked like it was back to the stock height w/ the extra fender...

Pour some techron or fuel injection cleaner in your tank. Although, sounds like the cause of the winter gas. Did you change or clean your air filter when you did the 60k service??
