    BC Coilovers, Hotchkis Sways and MS Camkit Kit installed

    Just put my order in for some BC's. Just wondering, I'm planning to get the Ultraleggera 18x8's in a month or so, will I have any problems with these coilovers and those wheels? Going to use stock tires for now. Any install tips that haven't been mentioned are welcome.

    Need Some Advice On Pad Upgrade

    Thanks Mocoso, To be honest I have only test drove a MS3 once from a local dealer. Between that ride and everyone here on the boards I custom ordered a new 08.5 GT. I was planing to run the stock pads to get a feel for them, and make a decision after that. Just wanted some inside info so I...

    2008.5 MAZDASPEED3 - Now in CRYSTAL WHITE and METROPOLITAN GRAY

    I just found out, if I would have went with the white, he said It would have been $173 more. Other than that I don't think there is a mark up. My dealer didn't find out my car was going to be an 08.5 until after he made the order for my 08 GT. Other than the paint, the price is the same as far...

    2008.5 MAZDASPEED3 - Now in CRYSTAL WHITE and METROPOLITAN GRAY

    Its cool they came out with the update, but I really wanted the Cosmic Blue. I guess 6 disks full of MP3 files will have to make up for it. My 08.5 is being made right now, got an email from my dealer. Says they should send me an email with the VIN within the next couple weeks. Being in the...

    Post a picture of your MAZDASPEED3

    Yeh i think its like that in some European countries, I know in the UK you have to have to have a rear red fog light on the right hand side. It was about the same brightness of a brake light, and comes on when you turn on your fog lights.

    Need Some Advice On Pad Upgrade

    Yeh I would like to get the Brembo big brake kit, but don't really want to spend $1400+, so I was just thinking I would go for some high end pads instead. Any suggestions? Something that will last me, at high speeds over the stock.

    2008.5 MAZDASPEED3 - Now in CRYSTAL WHITE and METROPOLITAN GRAY

    Ordered my MS3 a couple of weeks ago, wanted the Cosmic Blue, but I got a call from the sales guy telling me about these changes. So had to change my color choice, decided to go with the Metro Gray. :D Don't flame me because I didn't get the white, it was a hard choice between the 2 but...

    Need Some Advice On Pad Upgrade

    I haven't even got my MS3 yet, getting shipped strait to Germany, but having driven over there before (in other cars) at high speeds I'm already thinking a brake upgrade is going to be my first upgrade to the car. So my question is I need a pad that performs good consistently at high speeds, or...

    What have you guys paid?! I'm starting to sweat.

    Im in the military and I just ordered through a military car sales place which is a service for us in the military and believe they are only aloud to make so much off the car(probably wrong about that though). I paid $23,296 for a 08 MS3 GT with only the wheel lugs and cargo net, but with...
