Okay, I researched this before, but I really will need to replace my shocks this Spring. My 3 feels as though it's getting too floaty on the freeway at times. I'm looking at Koni Yellows or Bilstein Sports for my 3 sedan, which is lowered on the pro-kit. Please post your experiences and...

I'm looking for some Rota G-Force or similar rims in gun-metallic or possibly black. I need them to be in excellent condition and 17x7.5 with a 48mm offset. Someone has to have some. PM me.

Does anyone have all the torque specs for the suspension? I found some of them, but I am really interested in the nut that holds the lower clamp in place on the frunt struts. I believe that is the Spindle Nut. Someone had said up to 54 ft/lb but that seems kind of light. Someone should do a...

I just started to notice a faint clicking - maybe chattering - noise coming from the front of my car - mostly right side but sometimes driver side as well. I only hear it once I get going down the road and it doesn't seem dependent on whether I am turning or whether I am going over bumps. I...

I am going to be painting my stock snowflakes. I am not going to go the powdercoat route. I'm not spending $300 plus for stock rims that are painted when I can buy rotas for $550. So I'm going to paint, but I will take my time and do it right. My question is, what color do you all think...

Anyone know of any reliable garages in West Michigan that can do suspension and other upgrades? Also looking for a great powdercoating company.

I need to buy a mint (no curb rash) 17" Snowflake rim for my 08 MZ3. Please PM me.

Just curious how many other peeps out there saw their insurance rating group (IRG) and liability rating group (LRG) go up on their Mazda3 for the year 2009. These indices, of course, cause your rates to go up. These indices are also entirely based upon the insurance company's liability and...

I curbed my front stocker on my '08 MZ3 and I want to replace it. I am interested in one rim with no or very minor nicks and absolutely no curb rash. Please PM me if you have one for sale. Thanks, Damien

I'm looking to buy a new or used Mazdaspeed accessory springs and camber kit for my 08 3 sedan. I'd also be interested in a pro-kit. Best price I can find is $375 for the Mazda kit. PM if you have a used set or one you're willing to sell.

Does anyone have experience using the Sam's Club touchless car wash? My local sam's club in Grand Rapids opened a dual bay car wash not too long ago and I am interested in the touchless booth. The cost is $6 which is about what I pay to do it at the coin wash by hand. From what I could...

Hello everyone. I was going to take a road trip some time this spring or summer and I was interested in knowing if anyone wanted to participate in a rallye style event from Michigan to maybe St. Louis or Nashville. I see the Illinois group is active in planning such events but I thought it...

Anyone else having issues with the alarm going off very easily when handling the key fob? It's as if the panic button gets activated very, very easily. Had it go off 3 times on me the other day. It has happened in the past but it seems to be happening more frequently now. I'm not sure if it...

Alright, I got my 3 back from the dealership after their second attempt last week and I am still unhappy with the paint match. I went to another dealership -the place where I bought the car from - and had their paint guy look at it. He thought the paint job was terrible. Poor color match, runs...

Hello everyone. I thought I'd create a thread where people can share their experiences with having their mazdas painted and how well the paint matched afterwards. This can include having aftermarket parts painted to match such as a front lip or spoiler, or, as in my case, having the body...

I'm posting this here because the regular 3 forum is highly inactive and I can never get a response. Anyway, does Anyone have this exhaust from corksport? I heard some clips on youtube and I I like it. It's not obnoxious in sound. Just curious as to build quality, fitment, gains, etc. I own a...

Anyone have this exhaust from corksport. I heard some clips on youtube and I I like it. It's not obnoxious in sound. Just curious as to build quality, fitment, gains, etc. I own a sedan, so I'm also not positive if it is for hatch only.

Apparently, I was the victim of a hit and run last night while my car was parked at my apartment complex. Mind you, I park in the end spot so that no one door dents me - the spot closest to the handicap spot. Anyway, both doors on the driver's side are completely smashed in and closed shut...

Okay, I was driving to a meeting today going about 60 mph on a four lane highway and I was enjoying the nice, cooler weather. All of the sudden I hit something which appeared to be like flattened cardboard boxes with a red pink color to it. I had no time to swerve and I only caught the objects...

I got a quote on Huper Ceramic 30 for my 3 sedan. They wanted $550 (lifetime warranty, which is standard on this film). Does that seem high? I seem to be seeing $400 - $450 for Huper ceramic in other states. I believe they are one of the few places in Michigan that installs that brand...
