for those of you who are lowered on springs. im thinking of goin with the Road Magnets. did any one of you have to install camber links as well??
 
i believe the road magnets say 1.1 all around? im on 18x8 torques so for now that should be good....atleast untill coilovers come into play down the road ;)
 
lol i heard that.. im on(adr 17 X 7) i want to go with a 2-2.5 drop...i cant find a 2.5 spring tho..

where in tampa are you located. Im in east tampa/riverview. We should get together for some photos sometime. You can see what torques look like on a lowered MS3 in person.

i actually live in thonotosassa. just outside temple terrace off of fletcher.
 
thats not too far from here, about 25-30 minutes away. Anyway, i have 18 x 8 torques like you. what offset did you go with?
 
went with 48. i see you have the injen CAI...any problems with it? im going back an forth between the cai or sri.
 
no, i love it so far. Ive only been in one storm that i was actually worried about, other than that it sounds like a beast

That's because they're aren't any for the MS3. The lowest springs that's MS3 specific are the H&R's which will drop you about a 2". If want lower than that, you'll have to get coilovers.

figures i cnt drop the cash on coils now...damn..imma go with 2"springs then thanks!!

im selling my bike to boost my car i have a mz3..


sorry didnt mean to thread jack...
 
i have some dropzones coming like Uhateit has. they are a 1.4inch drop and he said he didnt need an alignment. they said everything was in the green and nothing needed to be adjusted it. mine arrive on the 17th. cant wait.

i have read quite a bit the H&R blow shocks, not sure why when the dropzones give a slightly lower drop than the H&R's. maybe its the spring rate of the H&R's. Uhateit hasnt had any probs. and his wife has a had a pair on her jetta for over a year and no probs there

I live in Brandon. We should all get together for photos sometime. Not until after I get my wheels on though.
 
theres alot of people that live in the tampa area. We should really all meet up one day. Also since theres alot of locals in this post would anyone be interested in rx8 rims? I am planning on changing it up. Lmk
