I am on my second set of 205/40/17 tires on mazda 3 wheels. I have not had any issues. Stock springs though.

Doing research and finding a quality pad that suits your needs can go a long way. Have you thought about replacing the brake fluid to a higher dot rating? Calipers would be awesome, but seem extreme. Everybody has a different opinion on the cross or slotted rotors. Go with your gut on that...

Thanks aMaff! I take it that I am the only one having all these problems. Yeah, the only thing I can think of is that I am driving too fast over bumbs. Very FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!

LOL, the thought actually crossed my mind today. These coastal backroads in Santa Cruz seriously need repaving!

Progress bar broke my endlinks. Awr endlinks broke tabs. Bought shocks. Brackets broke. Bought awr 19mm bar. Awr bar split in half :( ? !

I don't want to influence you either way, however, I just wanted to say that my tabs broke with the progress 22mm bar and awr endlinks.

I wanted to find out how one measures the rear sway bar. That is diameter or circumfrance? I recently had my mechanic put on a dealer issued stock sway bar, and it seems small. My handling going into turns seems to have diminished. I am not sure if the recent adjustments on my alignment has...

Those mazda 3 wheels look twice as good when the car is lowered! I think I need to lower my car!

I was under the impression that 215's will bubble on the 6.5" rim. That is what I was told when I bought tires for my mazda 3 wheels. Any truth to that?

Much appreciated Azaizai! I have to remember I am not driving a 914 time trial car anymore!

So does it benefit the handling to do negative camber in the front with normal camber in the back?

I seriously don't miss the repair bills on my Porsches!

Yeah, I am not sure how you fix it, but that happened to my drivers rear door. That is one of the few "problems" the car has. It cost me $150 to replace at my mechanic.

My question would not be if it will rub, but rather if the tire will fit on that rim. I am not sure what year you are talking about, but I have the first gen mazda 3 wheels and they are 6.5" wide. I just purchased a set of 205/40/17 because the guys at tire rack and discount tire direct said...

redline I am not an expert, but I just changed my tranny oil to redline. So far so good. I used redline because it has been tried and tested on many cars for many years. Used it in my integra as well and worked out fine.

I am clueless. The bar broke like a twig where it bolts on. I am trying to get awr to replace it. I had multiple problems with the progress bar, and now the 19mm bar broke. I can understand the progress bar being to heavy, but for the 19mm to break like it did, I am a little angry over the...

Wow, didn't realize there were so many people out there with stock bars. Am I the only one having problems with upgraded sway bars? I called awr today, and they said they might be able to replace mine since it broke like a twig. I will keep you all in mind. Thanks for the responces.

I am sitting on stock springs.

Sounds like a fair trade if you want a awr bar that is split in half :)

If I go back to a stock rear sway bar, should I go back to stock endlinks as well, or am I ok with the awr's?
